“ Someone that you have deprived of everything is no longer in your power. He is once again entirely free. ”

― Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (1918 - 2008)

Here are some more great Solzhenitsyn quotes:


"Unlimited power in the hands of limited people always leads to cruelty."


“If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?”


“The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world.”


“Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing. ”


“Our envy of others devours us most of all.”


“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. ”
