More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When one is already on the edge of the grave, why not resist?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... people don't know what they are striving for. They waste themselves in senseless thrashing around for the sake of a handful of goods and die without realizing their spiritual wealth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... some kind of clean, pure feeling does live within us, existing apart from all our convictions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Morality is always higher than law and we cannot forget this ever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you want to change the world, who do you begin with, yourself or others? I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Too much art was no art at all. Like candy instead of bread!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... any country that is not careful can be seized.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not all of me shall die.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

I dedicate this to all those who did not live to tell it. And may they please forgive me for not having seen it all nor remembered it all, for not having divined all of it - from The Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Many of you have already found out, and others will find out in the course of their lives, that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate our attention totally on it's pursuit. But even while it eludes us, the illusion of knowing it still lingers and leads to many misunderstandings. Also, truth seldom is pleasant it is almost invariably bitter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Generosity is a two-edged virtue for an artist - it nourishes his imagination but has a fatal effect on his routine.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The fewer limitations the artist imposes on his work, the less chance he has for artistic success.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart - and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.
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
Every act of perception has an emotional coloring.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
