Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If you wanted to put the world to rights, who should you begin with: yourself or others?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
He who knows how to be content will be content with little.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justness exists, even if few people exist who feel it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is no point asserting and reasserting what the heart cannot believe.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I refuse to see literature as amusement, as a game. I think that you ought not to approach literature without a moral responsibility for every word you write.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we don't know our own history, then we simply will have to endure all of the same mistakes, all of the same sacrifices, all of the same absurdities over again - times ten.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
