More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Oh, how hard it is to part with power! This one has to understand.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When I returned to Russia in 1994, the Western world and its states were practically being worshipped. Admittedly, this was caused not so much by real knowledge or a conscious choice, but by the natural disgust with the Bolshevik regime and its anti-Western propaganda.
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
Happiness doesn't depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We particularly like people who value us highly.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Why can't you understand? The stars fall down now and then. The gaps have to be filled.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It would have been difficult to design a path out of communism worse than the one that has been followed.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
When you're cold, don't expect sympathy from someone who's warm.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To preserve his life, should a man pay everything that gives it color, scent and excitement?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I would rather have the United States as the world's policeman than the Soviet Union as the world's jailer.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.
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
On our crowded planet there are no longer any internal affairs!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Let your memory be your travel bag.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
And the over-all fact that you are a frail vessel full of errors.
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
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
Any fool can bomb a train, but just try sorting out the mess.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
