More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is a brave man who is the first to sit down during a standing ovation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God that's why all this has happened.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have to condemn the very idea that some people have the right to repress others.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we could all take a sober look at our history, then we would no longer see this nostalgic attitude to the Soviet past that predominates among the less affected part of our society.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If decade after decade the truth cannot be told, each person's mind begins to roam irretrievably. One's fellow countrymen become harder to understand than Martians.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
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.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If someone asked you, why not help him out?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A great writer is, so to speak, a secret government in his country
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is a law of time, a law of oblivion: glory to the dead life to the living.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing worthy can be built on a neglect of higher meanings and on a relativistic view of concepts and culture as a whole. Indeed, something greater than a phenomenon confined to art can be discerned shimmering here beneath the surface - shimmering not with light but with an ominous crimson glow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justness exists, even if few people exist who feel it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
And the over-all fact that you are a frail vessel full of errors.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's not the sea that drowns you-it's the puddle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Society must cease to look upon 'progress' as something desirable. 'Eternal Progress' is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a 'steadily expanding economy', but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A storm breaks trees. It only bends grass.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
