More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We particularly like people who value us highly.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I leaf through the ancient philosophers and find my newest discoveries there.
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
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

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human beings are better and lazier than their rules and instructions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you wanted to put the world to rights, who should you begin with: yourself or others?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The task must be to banish from mankind's thought the idea that anybody has the right to use force against righteousness, against justice, against mutual agreements.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
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
Even the most broad-minded of us can embrace only that part of truth into which our own snout has blundered.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words…By means of art were are sometimes sent - dimly, briefly - revelations unattainable by reason.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A human being is all hope and impatience.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
