Elie Wiesel
Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate - healthy virile hate - for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
One thing is that [Tibetans] should not give up hope. That's - even [if] it lasts a century. My discussions with the Dalai Lama always were about that.
Elie Wiesel
Each man was his own executioner and his own victim.
Elie Wiesel
When you die and go to heaven our maker is not going to ask, 'why didn't you discover the cure for such and such? why didn't you become the Messiah?' The only question we will be asked in that precious moment is 'why didn't you become you?'
Elie Wiesel
