Mourn if you must, but don't stop fighting.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It makes me happier, more secure, to think that I do not have to plan and manage everything for myself, that I am only a sword made sharp to smite the unclean forces, an enchanted sword to cleave and disperse them. Grant, O Lord, that I may not break as I strike! Let me not fall from Thy hand!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
On our crowded planet there are no longer any internal affairs!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You know the words from the Bible: 'Build not on sand, but on rock....' Tyrant leaders respect only firmness...and laugh at persons who give in to them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A strong man never loses his head in defeat or despondency.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human beings yield in many situations, even important and spiritual and central ones, as long as it prolongs one's well-being.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When we feel that we are not sufficiently respected, we should ask ourselves whether we are living as we should.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is almost always impossible to evaluate at the time events which you have already experienced, and to understand their meaning with the guidance of their effects. All the more unpredictable and surprising to us will be the course of future events.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Today when we say the West we are already referring to the West and to Russia. We could use the word 'modernity' if we exclude Africa, and the Islamic world, and partially China.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any fool can bomb a train, but just try sorting out the mess.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies
