Text Quotes
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It is almost always impossible to evaluate at the time events which you have already experienced, and to understand their meaning with the guidance of their effects. All the more unpredictable and surprising to us will be the course of future events (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Macbeth’s self-justifications were feeble - and his conscience devoured him. Yes, even Iago was a little lamb too. The imagination and the spiritual strength of Shakespeare’s evildoers stopped short at a dozen corpses. Because they had no ideology (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
The thoughts of a prisoner - they’re not free either. They keep returning to the same things (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
My wish for you... is that your skeptic-eclectic brain be flooded with the light of truth (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart - and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible? (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
The revolution is an amalgam of former Party functionaries, quasi- democrats, KGB officers, and black-market wheeler-dealers, who are standing in power now and have represented a dirty hybrid unseen in world history (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
To do evil a human being must first of all believe that what he’s doing is good, or else that it’s a well-considered act in conformity with natural law. Fortunately, it is in the nature of the human being to seek a justification for his actions (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Scientific research? Only when not at the cost of ethics-and first of all, those of the researchers themselves (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Truth must be told-and things must change! If words are not about real things and do not cause things to happen, what is the good of them? (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
The generation now coming out of Western schools is unable to distinguish good from bad. Even those words are unacceptable. This results in impaired thinking ability (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
I have always had that inner drive, since my birth. And I have always devoted myself gladly to work - to work and to the struggle (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
When I was young, the early death of my father cast a shadow over me - and I was afraid to die before all my literary plans came true. But between 30 and 40 years of age my attitude to death became quite calm and balanced. I feel it is a natural, but no means the final, milestone of one’s existence (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Happiness doesn’t depend on the actual number of blessings we manage to scratch from life, only our attitude towards them.... (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isn’t the will to do what is right. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
One can build the Empire State Building, discipline the Prussian army, make a state hierarchy mightier than God, yet fail to overcome the unaccountable superiority of certain human beings. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Literature that is not the breath of contemporary society, that dares not transmit the pains and fears of that society . . . loses the confidence of its own people, and its published works are used as wastepaper instead of being read. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
For us in Russia communism is a dead dog. For many people in the West, it is still a living lion. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
When the whole discussion of developing a national idea hastily began in post-Soviet Russia, I tried to pour cold water on it with the objection that, after all the devastating losses we had experienced, it would be quite sufficient to have just one task: the preservation of a dying people. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
You can build the Empire State Building. Train the Prussian army. Elevate the hierarchy of a totalitarian state higher than the throne of the Most High.But there are still people whose moral superiority defeats your own. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
I am deeply convinced that God is present both in the lives of every person and also in the lives of entire nations. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Of course God is endlessly multi-dimensional so every religion that exists on earth represents some face, some side of God. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Voting for impersonal parties and their programmes is a false substitute for the only true way to elect people’s representatives: voting by an actual person for an actual candidate. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Woe to that nation whose literature is cut short by the intrusion of force. This is not merely interference with freedom of the press but the sealing up of a nation’s heart, the excision of its memory. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
You took my freedom away a long time ago and you can’t give it back because you haven’t got it yourself. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
Literature transmits incontrovertible condensed experience... from generation to generation. In this way literature becomes the living memory of a nation. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
The next war. May well bury Western civilization forever (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes)
