Alexander Solzhenitsyn, author and historian, made the world aware of the Soviet Gulag labor camp system with his ”The Gulag Archipelago”, a multi-part narrative based on personal experience, eyewitness testimony and primary research material. Solzhenitsyn was exiled from the Soviet Union for nearly twenty years, returning in 1994. Solzhenitsyn was awarded the 1970 Nobel Prize in Literature “for the ethical force with which he has pursued the indispensable traditions of Russian literature.”

Alexander Solzhenitsyn quotes ~
• “The one and only substitute for experience which we have not ourselves had is art, literature.”
• “Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.”
• “Even the most rational approach to ethics is defenseless if there isn't the will to do what is right.”
• “Own only what you can always carry with you: know languages, know countries, know people. Let your memory be your travel bag.”
• “The Universe has as many different centers as there are living beings in it.”
• “It is time in the West to defend not so much human rights as human obligations.”
