More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Cracks make caves collapse.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
People who are at ease with their consciences always look happy.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I have always insisted on the need for local self-government for Russia, but I never opposed this model to Western democracy. On the contrary, I have tried to convince my fellow citizens by citing the examples of highly effective local self-government systems in Switzerland and New England, both of which I saw first-hand.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A forest doesn't weep over one tree.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Bless you, prison, for having been in my life!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is eternal simplicity to a solution once it has been discovered!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I have grown used to the fact that public repentance is the most unacceptable option for the modern politician.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A fish does not campaign against fisheries-it only tries to slip through the mesh.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The belly is an ungrateful wretch, it never remembers past favors, it always wants more tomorrow.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A day without a dark cloud. Almost a happy day. There were three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days like that in his stretch. From the first clang of the rail to the last clang of the rail. Three thousand six hundred and fifty-three days. The three extra days were for leap years.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every act of perception has an emotional coloring.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One should not ascribe the evil deeds of individual leaders or political regimes to an innate fault of the Russian people and their country.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Only a magician can fix a head on a body, but any fool can lop it off.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let all of us who shared the prison soup meet again in better times!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
This is a grave danger: the stoppage of information between the parts of the planet. Contemporary science knows that such stoppage is the way of entropy, of universal destruction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Patriotism means unqualified and unwavering love for the nation, which implies not uncritical eagerness to serve, not support for unjust claims, but frank assessment of its vices and sins, and penitence for them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Here again we witness the single outcome of a worldwide process, with East and West yielding the same results, and once again for the same reason: Men have forgotten God.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The most intense patriotism always flourishes in the rear.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Was it Gorky who had said, If your children are no better than you are, you have fathered them in vain, indeed you have lived in vain.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
