In military science there is a principle more important than Forward: it is that the task should be proportionate to the means.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are so attached to the earth, and yet we are incapable of holding onto it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This is a grave danger: the stoppage of information between the parts of the planet. Contemporary science knows that such stoppage is the way of entropy, of universal destruction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A leader should not be a man who arbitrarily imported his own ideas but the essential focal point for a group of people who trusted one another and worked for a common aim.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
