I have always had that inner drive, since my birth. And I have always devoted myself gladly to work - to work and to the struggle.
Aleksandr SolzhenitsynEvery man always has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself.
Aleksandr SolzhenitsynLet us not forget that violence does not live alone and is not capable of living alone: it is necessarily interwoven with falsehood. Between them lies the most intimate, the deepest of natural bonds. Violence finds its only refuge in falsehood, falsehood its only support in violence. Any man who has once acclaimed violence as his method must inexorably choose falsehood as his principle.
