More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Whenever the tissue of life is woven of legalistic relationships, this creates an atmosphere of spiritual mediocrity that paralyzes a person's noblest impulses.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A storm breaks trees. It only bends grass.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In all probability an outburst of desperation in the midst of general submissiveness will always help.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing worthy can be built on a neglect of higher meanings and on a relativistic view of concepts and culture as a whole. Indeed, something greater than a phenomenon confined to art can be discerned shimmering here beneath the surface - shimmering not with light but with an ominous crimson glow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... people don't know what they are striving for. They waste themselves in senseless thrashing around for the sake of a handful of goods and die without realizing their spiritual wealth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who pulls is the one they urge on.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who will dare say he has defined art?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not all of me shall die.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Bless you, prison, for having been in my life!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Pride grows in the human heart like lard on a pig.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The essence of life will never be captured by even the greatest of formulas.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One can build the Empire State Building, discipline the Prussian army, make a state hierarchy mightier than God, yet fail to overcome the unaccountable superiority of certain human beings.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If someone asked you, why not help him out?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To preserve his life, should a man pay everything that gives it color, scent and excitement?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
