Quote by Alexander Solzhenitsyn

“It is astonishing that Communism has been writing about itself in the most open way, in black and white, for 125 years, and even more openly, more candidly in the beginning. The [book:Communist Manifesto|30474, for instance, which everyone knows by name and which almost no one takes the trouble to read, contains even more terrible things than what has actually been done. It is perfectly amazing. The whole world can read, everyone is literate, yet somehow no one wants to understand. Humanity acts as if it does not understand what Communism is, as if it does not want to understand, is not capable of understanding.”

“Undoubtedly," it will be said, "religious, moral, philosophical and juridical ideas have been modified in the course of historical development. But religion, morality, philosophy, political science, and law, constantly survived this change. "There are besides, eternal truths, such as Freedom, Justice, etc., that are common to all states of society. But Communism abolishes eternal truths, it abolishes all religion and all morality, instead of constituting them on a new basis; it therefore acts in contradiction to all past historical experience.”

“Forse, se cessassero di credere a pazzie come il fiume Denaro, e si mettessero a lavorare, finirebbero di passarsela così male." "Se il fiume Denaro non esiste, come ho fatto io oggi a guadagnare diecimila dollari, solo grattandomi e sonnecchiando, e rispondendo ogni tanto al telefono?" "E' ancora possibile, per un americano, costruirsi una fortuna." "Certo, purchè quando è ancora giovane qualcuno gli dica che il fiume Denaro esiste, che in questo non c'è nulla di giusto, che farebbe solo bene a scordarsi del duro lavoro, del criterio meritocratico, dell'onestà e di tutte quelle cagate, e ad andare dove scorre il fiume. 'Va' dove si trovanoi ricchi e i potenti' gli direi, 'e imparane i costumi. E' possibile lusingarli ed è possibile far loro paura. Soddisfali enormemente o spaventali enormemente, e una notte senza luna essi si porteranno un dito alle labbra, esortandoti a non far rumore. E nel buio to guideranno sino al fiume di ricchezze più largo e profondo che l'uomo abbia mai visto. Ti mostreranno il tuo posto sulla riva, e ti consegneranno un secchio tutto per te. Bevi finchè vuoi, ma cerca di non fare troppo chiasso. Un povero ptrebbe sentirti'".”
