Quotes by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

  • Own only what you can carry with you know language, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.
  • Do not pursue what is illusory - property and position all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don't be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness it is after all, all the same the bitter doesn't last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.
  • Our envy of others devours us most of all.
