More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God.
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
You get no thanks from your belly-it always forgets what you've just done for it and comes begging again the next day.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The secret is that when you've been pitched head first into hell you just write about it
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When I was in the gulag I would sometimes even write on stone walls. I used to write on scraps of paper, then I memorised the contents and destroyed the scraps.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I dare hope that all the peoples who have lived through communism will understand that communism is to blame for the bitter pages of their history.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Which of us can control his feelings?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A genius doesn't adjust his treatment of a theme to a tyrant's taste
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I am of course confident that I will fulfill my tasks as a writer in all circumstances - from my grave even more successfully and more irrefutably than in my lifetime.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any man who has once proclaimed violence as his method is inevitably forced to take the lie as his principle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The earlier, the more fun. Why put it off? It’s the atomic age!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're young, you haven't the experience, when you're old you haven't the strength.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But what can you say in a letter?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them. But when you've robbed a man of everything, he's no longer in your power - he's free again.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When I returned to Russia in 1994, the Western world and its states were practically being worshipped. Admittedly, this was caused not so much by real knowledge or a conscious choice, but by the natural disgust with the Bolshevik regime and its anti-Western propaganda.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The essence of life will never be captured by even the greatest of formulas.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
