Famous quotes containing the word solzhenitsyn:

    It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes. It may even lie on the surface; but 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.
    —Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
