More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Only a magician can fix a head on a body, but any fool can lop it off.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I leaf through the ancient philosophers and find my newest discoveries there.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are so attached to the earth, and yet we are incapable of holding onto it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surrender one hair, and you'll end up beardless.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Patriotism means unqualified and unwavering love for the nation, which implies not uncritical eagerness to serve, not support for unjust claims, but frank assessment of its vices and sins, and penitence for them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our age, when technology is gaining control over life, when material well-being is considered the most important goal, when the influence of religion has been weakened everywhere in the world, a special responsibility lies upon the writer.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Evil people always support each other that is their chief strength.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But there are still people whose moral superiority defeats your own.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... once you get up steam, you are carried helplessly along.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Universe has as many different centers as there are living beings in it.
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
A strong man never loses his head in defeat or despondency.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The price of cowardice will only be evil. We shall reap courage and victory only when we dare to make sacrifices.
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
I refuse to see literature as amusement, as a game. I think that you ought not to approach literature without a moral responsibility for every word you write.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The name of 'reform' simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West today.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Work was like a stick. It had two ends. When you worked for the knowing you gave them quality when you worked for a fool you simply gave him eyewash.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
