But nothing is all black in nature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible what was the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: 'Men had forgotten God that is why all this has happened.'
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Too much art was no art at all. Like candy instead of bread!

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The October Revolution is a myth generated by the winners, the Bolsheviks, and swallowed whole by progressive circles in the West.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let us drive away those cruel, greedy oppressors, governments, and the new ones, having just laid aside grenades and rifles, will be just and understanding. Far from it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It takes a fool to rush off to war!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When truth is discovered by someone else, it loses something of its attractiveness.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God that's why all this has happened.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who will dare say he has defined art?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
