More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Beat a dog once and you only have to show him the whip.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not all of me shall die.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth must be told-and things must change! If words are not about real things and do not cause things to happen, what is the good of them?
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
There are defendants whom the judges are afraid of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is a brave man who is the first to sit down during a standing ovation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not death itself, but only the moral preparation for it, holds terrors.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Economic growth is not only unncessary, but ruinous.
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
Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Friends! Let us try to help if we are worth anything at all!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If a person can build a fence around himself, he is bound to do it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Your friend will argue with you.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The heart senses who is friend and who is no friend.
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
As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Communist propaganda would sometimes include statements such as we include almost all the commandments of the Gospel in our ideology. The difference is that the Gospel asks all this to be achieved through love, through self-limitation, but socialism only uses coercion. This is one point.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
History is too slow for our life, for our hearts.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
