Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We never know beforehand how new posts or new work will change us.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... some kind of clean, pure feeling does live within us, existing apart from all our convictions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
