More quotes by Elie Wiesel
People become the stories they hear and the stories they tell.
Elie Wiesel
Holy War is a contradiction of terms.
Elie Wiesel
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Elie Wiesel
I don't think I should accept other people's suffering because I suffered. Just the opposite, because I suffered I don't want others to suffer.
Elie Wiesel
Usually I get up early every morning and from 6:00 to 10:00 I write. The rest of the time I study and prepare my work or I do other things. But four hours a day are exclusively devoted to writing.
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
Every moment contains a spark of eternity.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
Elie Wiesel
Naturally, the human being wants to forget pain.
Elie Wiesel
I shall always remember that smile. From what world did it come from?
Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is the most documented tragedy in recorded history. And therefore, later on, if there will be a later on, anyone wishing to know will know where to go for knowledge.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
Elie Wiesel
A word is worth a thousand pictures.
Elie Wiesel
No one has written the way Isaiah does. The royal style, the majesty of the language. He is called the prince of the prophets. No one has written like that. I've studied ancient literature, Homer, for example, but it's not the same thing.
Elie Wiesel
I do not believe in collective guilt.
Elie Wiesel
The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it.
Elie Wiesel
I think he is condemned by himself to loneliness. God is One: he was, he is, he will be always One. One is so lonely. Maybe that is why he created human beings--to feel less lonely. But as human beings betray his creation, he may become even lonelier.
Elie Wiesel
