More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Just as King Midas turned everything to gold, Stalin turned everything to mediocrity.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Someone that you have deprived of everything is no longer in your power. He is once again entirely free.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In every life there is one particular event that is decisive for the entire person-for his fate, his convictions, his passions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The term national idea is an unclear one. One might think of it as a widely shared understanding among a people as to the desired way of life in their country, an idea that holds sway over the population. A unifying concept like that can be useful, but should never be created artificially or imposed top-down by the powers-that-be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let all of us who shared the prison soup meet again in better times!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I think the gap between rich and poor is an extremely dangerous phenomenon and needs the immediate attention of the state.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...it's only on a black day that you begin to have friends.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Friends! Let us try to help if we are worth anything at all!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You know the words from the Bible: 'Build not on sand, but on rock....' Tyrant leaders respect only firmness...and laugh at persons who give in to them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our country the lie has become not just a moral category but a pillar of the State.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
