A poet cannot be a Party member ... without paying the price.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You're sincere, but in order not to upset your views you avoid talking with people who think differently.

You start out with modest opinions, but they match and build each other up to a scale.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Any fool can bomb a train, but just try sorting out the mess.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man used to riding in a car cannot understand a pedestrian.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If we look far into the future, one can see a time in the 21st century when both Europe and the USA will be in dire need of Russia as an ally.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... people don't know what they are striving for. They waste themselves in senseless thrashing around for the sake of a handful of goods and die without realizing their spiritual wealth.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I can say without affectation that I belong to the Russian convict world no less than I do to Russian literature. I got my education there, and it will last forever.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
