More quotes by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If decade after decade the truth cannot be told, each person's mind begins to roam irretrievably. One's fellow countrymen become harder to understand than Martians.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Still, everybody wants to eat.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Every human act can be disguised with a coating of gilt.
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
And the over-all fact that you are a frail vessel full of errors.
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
A great disaster had befallen Russia: Men have forgotten God that's why all this has happened.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
...skepticism can never provide firm ground under a man's feet. And perhaps, after all, we need firm ground.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Man has set for himself the goal of conquering the world but in the processes loses his soul.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I dedicate this to all those who did not live to tell it. And may they please forgive me for not having seen it all nor remembered it all, for not having divined all of it - from The Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
First would be the literary side, then the spiritual and philosophical. The political side is required principally because of the necessity of the current Russian position.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
If state, party and social policy will not be based on morality, then mankind has no future to speak of.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
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
It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A strong man never loses his head in defeat or despondency.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
One drop of truth can outweigh an ocean of lies
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words…By means of art were are sometimes sent - dimly, briefly - revelations unattainable by reason.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Socialism of any type leads to a total destruction of the human spirit...
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's not the sea that drowns you-it's the puddle.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
