Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes
I Was Profoundly Impressed By My Contact With These Places Which Are And Have Always Been, The Wellsprings Of Your History. It Makes One Think That The Men Who Created Your Country Never Lost Sight Of Their Moral Bearings. They Did Not Laugh At The Absolute Nature Of The Concepts Of "good" And "evil." Their Practical Policies Were Checked Against Their Moral Compass. And How Surprising It Is That A Practical Policy Computed On The Basis Of Moral Considerations Turned Out To Be The Most Farsighted And The Most Salutary. This Is True Even Though In The Short Term One May Wonder: Why All This Morality? Let's Just Get On With The Immediate Job.
