Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For a country to have a great writer is to have another government.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth must be told-and things must change! If words are not about real things and do not cause things to happen, what is the good of them?

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If a person can build a fence around himself, he is bound to do it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A fish does not campaign against fisheries-it only tries to slip through the mesh.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you wanted to put the world to rights, who should you begin with: yourself or others?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The demands of internal growth are incomparably more important to us...than the need for any external expansion of our power.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To preserve his life, should a man pay everything that gives it color, scent and excitement?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Only a magician can fix a head on a body, but any fool can lop it off.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For me faith is the foundation and support of one's life.
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
Human nature, if it changes at all, changes not much faster than the geological face of the earth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are all human, and our senses are quicker to prompt us than our reason. Every man gives off a scent, and that scent tells you how to act before your head does.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
