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

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A meek fellow ... is a real godsend in any gang.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It was wrong to be too pragmatic, to judge people solely by results it was more humane to judge by intentions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any fool can bomb a train, but just try sorting out the mess.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To taste the sea all one needs is one gulp.
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
If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We are so attached to the earth, and yet we are incapable of holding onto it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
