Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Freedom or prison--what's the difference? A man must develop unwavering will power subject only to his reason.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This is a grave danger: the stoppage of information between the parts of the planet. Contemporary science knows that such stoppage is the way of entropy, of universal destruction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If a person can build a fence around himself, he is bound to do it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surrender one hair, and you'll end up beardless.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Call no day happy 'til it is done call no man happy til he is dead.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
