More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
During my time in the camps, I had got to know the enemies of the human race quite well: they respect the big fist and nothing else the harder you slug them, the safer you will be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The most intense patriotism always flourishes in the rear.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You should rejoice that you're in prison. Here you have time to think about your soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nowadays we don't think much of a man's love for an animal we laugh at people who are attached to cats. But if we stop loving animals, aren't we bound to stop loving humans too?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man used to riding in a car cannot understand a pedestrian.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Society must cease to look upon 'progress' as something desirable. 'Eternal Progress' is a nonsensical myth. What must be implemented is not a 'steadily expanding economy', but a zero growth economy, a stable economy. Economic growth is not only unnecessary but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Everyone is guilty of something or has something to conceal. All one has to do is look hard enough to find what it is.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As for Europe, its claims towards Russia are fairly transparently based on fears about energy, unjustified fears at that.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Macbeth's self-justifications were feeble - and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb too. The imagination and the spiritual strength of Shakespeare's evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no ideology.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing worthy can be built on a neglect of higher meanings and on a relativistic view of concepts and culture as a whole. Indeed, something greater than a phenomenon confined to art can be discerned shimmering here beneath the surface - shimmering not with light but with an ominous crimson glow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he's doing is good.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Hastiness and superficiality are the psychic diseases of the 20th century, and more than anywhere else this disease is reflected in the press.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... people don't know what they are striving for. They waste themselves in senseless thrashing around for the sake of a handful of goods and die without realizing their spiritual wealth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but it is human to be outraged by injustice, even to the point of courting destruction!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Economic growth is not only unncessary, but ruinous.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
What a force is laughter.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every human act can be disguised with a coating of gilt.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
