Art thaws even the frozen, darkened soul, opening it to lofty spiritual experience. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

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? (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - From the Happiness category:

Work was like a stick. It had two ends. When you worked for the knowing you gave them quality; when you worked for a fool you simply gave him eye-wash. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - From the Writing category:
A great writer is, so to speak, a second government in his country. And for that reason no regime has ever loved great writers, only minor ones. (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)
