A Man of Many Words

Alexander Solzhenitsyn 

11 December 1918 - 3 August 2008

-Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people.  Let your memory be your travel bag.

-Literature becomes the living memory of a nation.

-It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.  

-It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.
