More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We didn't love freedom enough.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Communism will never be halted by negotiations or through the machinations of detente. It can only be halted by force from without or by disintegration from within.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why can't you understand? The stars fall down now and then. The gaps have to be filled.

Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Society must cease to look upon 'progress' as something desirable. 'Eternal Progress' is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a 'steadily expanding economy', but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is no point asserting and reasserting what the heart cannot believe.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Too much art was no art at all. Like candy instead of bread!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let all of us who shared the prison soup meet again in better times!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not death itself, but only the moral preparation for it, holds terrors.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justness exists, even if few people exist who feel it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I dedicate this to all those who did not live to tell it. And may they please forgive me for not having seen it all nor remembered it all, for not having divined all of it - from The Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Economic growth is not only unncessary, but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You took my freedom away a long time ago and you can't give it back because you haven't got it yourself.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
