Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes

If Humanism Were Right In Declaring That Man Is Born To Be Happy, He Would Not Be Born To Die. Since His Body Is Doomed To Die, His Task On Earth Evidently Must Be Of A More Spiritual Nature. It Cannot Unrestrained Enjoyment Of Everyday Life. It Cannot Be The Search For The Best Ways To Obtain Material Goods And Then Cheerfully Get The Most Out Of Them. It Has To Be The Fulfillment Of A Permanent, Earnest Duty So That One's Life Journey May Become An Experience Of Moral Growth, So That One May Leave Life A Better Human Being Than One Started It.
