Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But what can you say in a letter?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have been fortunate enough to live at a time when virtue, though it does not triumph, is nonetheless not always tormented by attack dogs. Beaten down, sickly, virtue has now been allowed to enter in all its tatters and sit in the corner, as long as it doesn't raise its voice.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The timid civilized world has found nothing with which to oppose the onslaught of a sudden revival of barefaced barbarity, other than concessions and smiles.
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

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In every life there is one particular event that is decisive for the entire person-for his fate, his convictions, his passions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A horrible human toll the Russian Orthodox Church suffered throughout almost the entire 20th century. The Church is just rising from its knees. Our young post-Soviet state is just learning to respect the Church as an independent institution.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In military science there is a principle more important than Forward: it is that the task should be proportionate to the means.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The thoughts of a prisoner - they're not free either. They keep returning to the same things.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The fewer limitations the artist imposes on his work, the less chance he has for artistic success.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... once you get up steam, you are carried helplessly along.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The revolution is an amalgam of former Party functionaries, quasi- democrats, KGB officers, and black-market wheeler-dealers, who are standing in power now and have represented a dirty hybrid unseen in world history
