Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Two great quotes for artists to wrestle with, both from Solzhenitsyn's 1970 Nobel Prize acceptance speech delivered to the Swedish Academy.
"There is no point asserting and reasserting what the heart cannot believe."
I first saw this quote in an article in which the writer had seen a translation that put it like this:
"It is useless to assert what one's heart does not believe."
The quote at the end of the speech is powerful.
"One word of truth outweighs the world."
