Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... any country that is not careful can be seized.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Everything you add to the truth subtracts from the truth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
