The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A human being is all hope and impatience.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The earlier, the more fun. Why put it off? It’s the atomic age!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God that's why all this has happened.
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
I leaf through the ancient philosophers and find my newest discoveries there.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... people don't know what they are striving for. They waste themselves in senseless thrashing around for the sake of a handful of goods and die without realizing their spiritual wealth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Someone that you have deprived of everything is no longer in your power. He is once again entirely free.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nowadays we don't think much of a man's love for an animal we laugh at people who are attached to cats. But if we stop loving animals, aren't we bound to stop loving humans too?
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
Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Art thaws even the frozen, darkened soul, opening it to lofty spiritual experience.
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
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
During my time in the camps, I had got to know the enemies of the human race quite well: they respect the big fist and nothing else the harder you slug them, the safer you will be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Evil people always support each other that is their chief strength.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who has the skill to make a narrow, obstinate human being aware of others' far-off grief and joy, to make him understand dimensions and delusions he himself has never lived through? Propaganda, coercion, and scientific proofs are powerless. But happily, in our world there is a way. It is art, and it is literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
