Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human beings yield in many situations, even important and spiritual and central ones, as long as it prolongs one's well-being.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surely people should eventually cease to be surprised at anything? And yet they continue to be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It was wrong to be too pragmatic, to judge people solely by results it was more humane to judge by intentions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
