You start out with modest opinions, but they match and build each other up to a scale.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who pulls is the one they urge on.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... a man can safely sacrifice a great deal as long as he clings to the essential.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Here again we witness the single outcome of a worldwide process, with East and West yielding the same results, and once again for the same reason: Men have forgotten God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surrender one hair, and you'll end up beardless.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One can build the Empire State Building, discipline the Prussian army, make a state hierarchy mightier than God, yet fail to overcome the unaccountable superiority of certain human beings.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
