More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Bless you prison, bless you for being in my life. For there, lying upon the rotting prison straw, I came to realize that the object of life is not prosperity as we are made to believe, but the maturity of the human soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To taste the sea all one needs is one gulp.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one good thing about repeating your mistakes is that you know when to cringe
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
It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
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
Society must cease to look upon 'progress' as something desirable. 'Eternal Progress' is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a 'steadily expanding economy', but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's not the sea that drowns you-it's the puddle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It takes a fool to rush off to war!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why can't you understand? The stars fall down now and then. The gaps have to be filled.
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
He who knows how to be content will be content with little.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Happiness doesn't depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The solemn pledge to abstain from telling the truth was called socialist realism.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Morality is always higher than law and we cannot forget this ever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Like a bicycle, like a wheel that, once rolling, is stable only so long as it keeps moving but falls when its momentum stops, so the game between a man and woman, once begun, can exist only so long as it progresses. If the forward movement today is no more than it was yesterday, the game is over.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... a man can safely sacrifice a great deal as long as he clings to the essential.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If one is a professional soldier, it is part of one's job to die sooner or later.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
