Elie Wiesel
There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.
Elie Wiesel
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
Elie Wiesel
Humanity would never tolerate it
Elie Wiesel
Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of faith is not heresy but indifference
Elie Wiesel
Sometimes I am asked if I know 'the response to Auschwitz I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don't even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response.
Elie Wiesel
If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end?
Elie Wiesel
