More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A strong man never loses his head in defeat or despondency.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If one is forever cautious, can one remain a human being?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What a force is laughter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
European democracy was originally imbued with a sense of Christian responsibility and self-discipline, but these spiritual principles have been gradually losing their force. Spiritual independence is being pressured on all sides by the dictatorship of self-satisfied vulgarity, of the latest fads, and of group interests.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The generation now coming out of Western schools is unable to distinguish good from bad. Even those words are unacceptable. This results in impaired thinking ability.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Woe to that nation whose literature is disturbed by the intervention of power. Because that is not just a violation against freedom of print, it is the closing down of the heart of the nation, a slashing to pieces of its memory.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
An engineer cannot participate in irrationality.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you live in a graveyard, you can't weep for everyone.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A poet cannot be a Party member ... without paying the price.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When Russia started to regain some of its strength as an economy and as a state, the West's reaction - perhaps a subconscious one, based on erstwhile fears - was panic.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Only a magician can fix a head on a body, but any fool can lop it off.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart - and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who doesn't pull his weight is not asked to pull, while the one who does, pulls for two.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For a country to have a great writer is to have another government.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
On our crowded planet there are no longer any internal affairs!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are all human, and our senses are quicker to prompt us than our reason. Every man gives off a scent, and that scent tells you how to act before your head does.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When one is already on the edge of the grave, why not resist?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Shall I describe the happiness it gave me to go into the classroom and pick up the chalk? ... It seemed to me the supreme, heartbreaking happiness to enter a classroom carrying a register as that bell rang, and start a lesson with the mysterious air of one about to unfold wonders.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
