Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Each person has his special moment of life when he unfolded himself to the fullest, felt to the deepest, and expressed himself to the utmost, to himself and to others.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To coexist with communism on the same planet is impossible. Either it will spread, cancer-like, to destroy mankind, or else mankind will have to rid itself of communism (and even then face lengthy treatment for secondary tumors).
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Pride grows in the human heart like lard on a pig.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies
