Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Quotes About Political Parties

Quotes about: Political Parties

• 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. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.

  "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, Part IV, 1973.

• It was only when I lay there on the rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirrings of good. Gradually it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not between states nor between social classes nor between political parties, but right through every human heart, through all human hearts.

• I am a convinced and consistent critic of party-parliamentarism. I am for non-partisan elections of true people's representatives who are accountable to their regions and districts; and who in case of unsatisfactory work can be recalled.

Politically motivated ties can be unstable and quite often they have selfish ulterior motives.
