More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Morality is always higher than law and we cannot forget this ever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We should clearly understand that only the voluntary and conscientious acceptance by a people of its guilt can ensure the healing of a nation. Unremitting reproaches from outside are counterproductive.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
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
There is a law of time, a law of oblivion: glory to the dead life to the living.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human nature is full of riddles and contradictions its very complexity engenders art-and by art I mean the search for something more than simple linear formulations, flat solutions, oversimplified explanations.
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
A strong man never loses his head in defeat or despondency.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's not the sea that drowns you-it's the puddle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who has the skill to make a narrow, obstinate human being aware of others' far-off grief and joy, to make him understand dimensions and delusions he himself has never lived through? Propaganda, coercion, and scientific proofs are powerless. But happily, in our world there is a way. It is art, and it is literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What a force is laughter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I dare hope that all the peoples who have lived through communism will understand that communism is to blame for the bitter pages of their history.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We particularly like people who value us highly.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If so far we have been unable to see clearly or to reflect the eternal lineaments of truth, is it not because we too are still moving towards some end-because we are still alive?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one who pulls is the one they urge on.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are so attached to the earth, and yet we are incapable of holding onto it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You should rejoice that you're in prison. Here you have time to think about your soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
