Solzhenitsyn, Aleksandr (Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn)

Such as it is, the press has become the greatest power within the Western World, more powerful than the legislature, the executive and judiciary. One would like to ask; by whom has it been elected and to whom is it responsible?
-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

On our crowded planet there are no longer any internal affairs!
-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there remains a small corner of evil. It is impossible to expel evil from the world in its entirety, but it is possible to constrict it within each person.
-- Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
