More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A decline in courage may be the most striking feature that an outside observer notices in the West today.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A hard life improves the vision.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Violence does not and cannot flourish by itself it is inevitably intertwined with lying.
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
Let all of us who shared the prison soup meet again in better times!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Violence can only be concealed by a lie, and the lie can only be maintained by violence.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When Russia started to regain some of its strength as an economy and as a state, the West's reaction - perhaps a subconscious one, based on erstwhile fears - was panic.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In military science there is a principle more important than Forward: it is that the task should be proportionate to the means.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy and nothing can stop him.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In all probability an outburst of desperation in the midst of general submissiveness will always help.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousandfold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers . . . we are ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're young, you haven't the experience, when you're old you haven't the strength.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Like a bicycle, like a wheel that, once rolling, is stable only so long as it keeps moving but falls when its momentum stops, so the game between a man and woman, once begun, can exist only so long as it progresses. If the forward movement today is no more than it was yesterday, the game is over.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If someone asked you, why not help him out?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart...
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
He who knows how to be content will be content with little.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
