Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
... but it is human to be outraged by injustice, even to the point of courting destruction!
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A man used to riding in a car cannot understand a pedestrian.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
That which is called humanism, but what would be more correctly called irreligious anthropocentrism, cannot yield answers to the most essential questions of our life
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart...
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
A storm breaks trees. It only bends grass.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
And the over-all fact that you are a frail vessel full of errors.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
