More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
As the old proverb says: Well-fed horses don't rampage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is within the power of writers and artists to do much more: to defeat the lie!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There can be no acceptable future without an honest analysis of the past.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A fish does not campaign against fisheries-it only tries to slip through the mesh.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is no point asserting and reasserting what the heart cannot believe.
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
The name of 'reform' simply covers what is latently a process of the theft of the national heritage.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
