To reject this inhuman Communist ideology is simply to be a human being. Such a rejection is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil.

More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words…By means of art were are sometimes sent - dimly, briefly - revelations unattainable by reason.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's quite enough to show a well-beaten dog the whip.
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
Surrender one hair, and you'll end up beardless.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we look far into the future, one can see a time in the 21st century when both Europe and the USA will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you want to change the world, who do you begin with, yourself or others? I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The simple act of an ordinary courageous man is not to take part, not to support lies! Let that come into the world and even reign over it, but not through me. Writers and artists can do more: they can vanquish lies! ... Lies can stand up against much in the world, but not against art.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The perception of the West as mostly a knight of democracy has been replaced with the disappointed belief that pragmatism, often cynical and selfish, lies at the core of Western policies. For many Russians it was a grave disillusion, a crushing of ideals.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but food eaten quickly isn't food.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What is the most precious thing in the world? I see now that it is the knowledge that you have no part in injustice. Injustice is stronger than you, it always was and always will be, but let it not be done through you.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The fewer limitations the artist imposes on his work, the less chance he has for artistic success.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but it is human to be outraged by injustice, even to the point of courting destruction!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But nothing is all black in nature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
History is too slow for our life, for our hearts.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Like a bicycle, like a wheel that, once rolling, is stable only so long as it keeps moving but falls when its momentum stops, so the game between a man and woman, once begun, can exist only so long as it progresses. If the forward movement today is no more than it was yesterday, the game is over.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Your friend will argue with you.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
