The essence of life will never be captured by even the greatest of formulas.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
In our village, folks say God crumbles up the old moon into stars.
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

If you want to change the world, who do you begin with, yourself or others? I believe if we begin with ourselves and do the things that we need to do and become the best person we can be, we have a much better chance of changing the world for the better.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But there are still people whose moral superiority defeats your own.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I think the gap between rich and poor is an extremely dangerous phenomenon and needs the immediate attention of the state.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let all of us who shared the prison soup meet again in better times!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
