The essence of life will never be captured by even the greatest of formulas.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have ourselves to save.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any fool can bomb a train, but just try sorting out the mess.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One word of truth outweighs the whole world.
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
The one good thing about repeating your mistakes is that you know when to cringe
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Too much art was no art at all. Like candy instead of bread!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... the inexorable lesson of centuries: suffering must be borne there is no way out.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The term national idea is an unclear one. One might think of it as a widely shared understanding among a people as to the desired way of life in their country, an idea that holds sway over the population. A unifying concept like that can be useful, but should never be created artificially or imposed top-down by the powers-that-be.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I cannot suggest political ways out, that is the task of politicians, so it is simply that those who accuse me of this do not know how to read.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It takes a fool to rush off to war!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nowhere on the planet, nowhere in history, was there a regime more vicious, more bloodthirsty, and at the same time more cunning than the Bolshevik, the self-styled Soviet regime.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
All classifications in this world lack sharp boundaries, and all transitions are gradual.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To taste the sea all one needs is one gulp.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
How can you expect a man who's warm to understand one who's cold?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man used to riding in a car cannot understand a pedestrian.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Modern society is hypnotized by socialism. It is prevented by socialism from seeing the mortal danger it is in. And one of the greatest dangers of all is that you have lost all sense of danger, you cannot even see where it's coming from as it moves swiftly towards you.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Periods of rapid and fundamental change were never favourable for literature. Significant works, have nearly always and everywhere been created in periods of stability, be it good or bad.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
