More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.
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
Our government declared that it is conducting some kind of great reforms. In reality, no real reforms were begun and no one at any point has declared a coherent programme.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To taste the sea all one needs is one gulp.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I insist on believing that beauty elevates human beings.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To stand up for truth is nothing. For truth, you must sit in jail.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's an universal law-- intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If... if... We didn't love freedom enough. And even more - we had no awareness of the real situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried to submit. We submitted with pleasure! ........... We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.
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
A drop in the ocean has no fear of a hurricane.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
For me faith is the foundation and support of one's life.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
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
Good or evil-you cannot build your life apart from this distinction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not death itself, but only the moral preparation for it, holds terrors.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The heart senses who is friend and who is no friend.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To reject this inhuman Communist ideology is simply to be a human being. Such a rejection is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The task must be to banish from mankind's thought the idea that anybody has the right to use force against righteousness, against justice, against mutual agreements.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
