Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Not everything has a name. Some things lead us into a realm beyond words.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We never know beforehand how new posts or new work will change us.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Even if we are spared destruction by war, our lives will have to change if we want to save life from self-destruction.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
To preserve his life, should a man pay everything that gives it color, scent and excitement?
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Work is what horses die of
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
Nothing is more boring than a man with a career.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
We have to condemn the very idea that some people have the right to repress others.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
