Education doesn't make you smarter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A drop in the ocean has no fear of a hurricane.
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
When I was young, the early death of my father cast a shadow over me - and I was afraid to die before all my literary plans came true. But between 30 and 40 years of age my attitude to death became quite calm and balanced. I feel it is a natural, but no means the final, milestone of one's existence.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But there are still people whose moral superiority defeats your own.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Human nature, if it changes at all, changes not much faster than the geological face of the earth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there, and it will last forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A day without a dark cloud. Almost a happy day. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days like that in his stretch. From the first clang of the rail to the last clang of the rail. Three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days. The three extra days were for leap years.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Too much art was no art at all. Like candy instead of bread!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When we feel that we are not sufficiently respected, we should ask ourselves whether we are living as we should.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every act of perception has an emotional coloring.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we live in a state of constant fear, can we remain human?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Surrender one hair, and you'll end up beardless.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The same old caveman feeling-greed, envy, violence, and mutual hate, which along the way assumed respectable pseudonyms like class struggle, racial struggle, mass struggle, labor-union struggle-are tearing our world to pieces.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We hear a constant clamor for rights, rights, always rights, but so very little about responsibility. And we have forgotten God. The need now is for selflessness, for a spirit of sacrifice, for a willingness to put aside personal gains for the salvation of the whole Western world.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Literature becomes the living memory of a nation.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The one good thing about repeating your mistakes is that you know when to cringe
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have arrived at an intellectual chaos.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Prayers are like those appeals of ours. Either they don't get through or they're returned with 'rejected' scrawled across 'em.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
