"You don't have to be very bright to carry a handbarrow. So the squad leader gave such work to people who'd been in positions of authority."

“History, in other words, allows people to achieve distance from the era in which they were born, and promotes what one might call social sanity. It is not, as some have shamefully claimed, a form of psychological escapism—at least Johnson didn't think so. Neither did C.S. Lewis, who said that ‘[t]o study the past does indeed liberate us from the present, from the idols of our own marketplace.’ The historian, he said, ‘has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and the microphone of his own age.’ As Solzhenitsyn feared, without the ballast of the past, the present can easily be capsized by the ruthless and the power hungry.”

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?

Alexander Solzhenitsyn, novelist, Nobel laureate (1918-2008)

If we are suffering or going through a hardship, we should stop blaming and saying someone is suffocating us. We ourselves are doing it.

La línea que separa el bien del mal no pasa entre Estados, ni entre clases, ni entre partidos políticos sino que atraviesa cada corazón humano.

You can resolve to live your life with integrity. Let your credo be this: Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.

“But the fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. The forces of Evil have begun their decisive offensive. You can feel their pressure, yet your screens and publications are full of prescribed smiles and raised glasses. What is the joy about?”

— Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Commencement Address, Harvard University, June 8, 1978.
