#Education doesn't make you smarter

When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of #justice from beneath new generations
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

A state of #war only serves as an excuse for domestic tyranny

#Truth eludes us if we do not concentrate with total attention on its pursuit. But even while it eludes us, the illusion of knowing still lingers and leads to many misunderstandings

#Today I acquired an #AleksandrSolzhenitsyn novel for free. Then I finished work on time, joined a bus stop queue and admired a fellow queuer's hat, and caught a very delayed bus that meant I dodged the football match traffic. I feel like I've won at something, somehow.

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

#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

Different parts of the world have followed different paths, but today they are all approaching the threshold of a common ruin
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are #free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

The contemporary developed West thus demonstrates by its own example that human #salvation can be found neither in the profusion of material goods nor in merely making money
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

The concepts of good and evil have been ridiculed for several centuries; banished from common use, they have been replaced by political or class considerations of short-lived value
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

The line separating good and #evil passes not through states, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

#Understand everything immediately, when you yourself - hands behind the back - toddle into our Archipelago
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

It's a universal law - intolerance is the first sign of an inadequate #education. An ill-educated person behaves with arrogant impatience, whereas truly profound education breeds humility
#AleksandrSolzhenitsyn

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?
