Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes

A Tub Was Brought In To Melt Snow For Mortar. They Heard Somebody Saying It Was Twelve O'clock Already.
"It's Sure To Be Twelve," Shukhov Announced. "The Sun's Over The Top Already."
"If It Is," The Captain Retorted, "it's One O'clock, Not Twelve."
"How Do You Make That Out?" Shukhov Asked In Surprise. "The Old Folk Say The Sun Is Highest At Dinnertime."
"Maybe It Was In Their Day!" The Captain Snapped Back. "Since Then It's Been Decreed That The Sun Is Highest At One O'clock."
"Who Decreed That?"
"The Soviet Government."
The Captain Took Off With The Handbarrow, But Shukhov Wasn't Going To Argue Anyway. As If The Sun Would Obey Their Decrees!
