More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Which of us can control his feelings?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We will die, but art will remain.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Morality is always higher than law and we cannot forget this ever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The term national idea is an unclear one. One might think of it as a widely shared understanding among a people as to the desired way of life in their country, an idea that holds sway over the population. A unifying concept like that can be useful, but should never be created artificially or imposed top-down by the powers-that-be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I have grown used to the fact that public repentance is the most unacceptable option for the modern politician.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But nothing is all black in nature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surely people should eventually cease to be surprised at anything? And yet they continue to be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A drop in the ocean has no fear of a hurricane.
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
Prayers are like those appeals of ours. Either they don't get through or they're returned with 'rejected' scrawled across 'em.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but food eaten quickly isn't food.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Bless you, prison, for having been in my life!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Here again we witness the single outcome of a worldwide process, with East and West yielding the same results, and once again for the same reason: Men have forgotten God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If it goes well with you, then all is well.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Communists have for decades loudly proclaimed their goal of destroying the bourgeois world, while the West merely smiled at what seemed to be an extravagant joke.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have to condemn publicly the very idea that some people have the right to repress others... When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers ... we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
