More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The less you speak, the more you will hear.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
There is something predetermined in the mutual attraction between Germany and Russia. Otherwise, this attraction would not have survived two ghastly World Wars.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justness exists, even if few people exist who feel it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Many of you have already found out, and others will find out in the course of their lives, that truth eludes us if we do not concentrate our attention totally on it's pursuit.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every act of perception has an emotional coloring.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A human being is all hope and impatience.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To reject this inhuman Communist ideology is simply to be a human being. Such a rejection is more than a political act. It is a protest of our souls against those who would have us forget the concepts of good and evil.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Who has the skill to make a narrow, obstinate human being aware of others' far-off grief and joy, to make him understand dimensions and delusions he himself has never lived through? Propaganda, coercion, and scientific proofs are powerless. But happily, in our world there is a way. It is art, and it is literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Just as King Midas turned everything to gold, Stalin turned everything to mediocrity.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The battleline between good and evil runs through the heart of every man.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
But nothing is all black in nature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We will die, but art will remain.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
An engineer cannot participate in irrationality.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The central government possesses no plan of finding the way out of this blind alley.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If a person can build a fence around himself, he is bound to do it.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
