More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Once the fight is on-strike quickly and often.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... any country that is not careful can be seized.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Truth seldom is pleasant it is almost invariably bitter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For a country to have a great writer is to have another government.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nowhere on the planet, nowhere in history, was there a regime more vicious, more bloodthirsty, and at the same time more cunning than the Bolshevik, the self-styled Soviet regime.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...it's only on a black day that you begin to have friends.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not all of me shall die.
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
That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
No one can bar the road to truth, and to advance its cause I am prepared to accept even death.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Voting for impersonal parties and their programmes is a false substitute for the only true way to elect people's representatives: voting by an actual person for an actual candidate.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When I returned to Russia in 1994, the Western world and its states were practically being worshipped. Admittedly, this was caused not so much by real knowledge or a conscious choice, but by the natural disgust with the Bolshevik regime and its anti-Western propaganda.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I would rather have the United States as the world's policeman than the Soviet Union as the world's jailer.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The solemn pledge to abstain from telling the truth was called socialist realism.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.
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
A man used to riding in a car cannot understand a pedestrian.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
