Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes:

Ocupation: Novelist

Life: December 11, 1918 - August 3, 2008

Birthday: December 11

Death: August 3

Violence, less and less embarrassed by the limits imposed by centuries of lawfulness, is brazenly and victoriously striding across the whole world, unconcerned that its infertility has been demonstrated and proved many times in history. What is more, it is not simply crude power that triumphs abroad, but its exultant justification. The world is being inundated by the brazen conviction that power can do anything, justice nothing.
