Elie Wiesel
I believe in the story [ of Adam and Eve]. For me, it's a story.
Elie Wiesel
[Chinese] are a huge empire now, you'll soon be - in a few years two billion people in the world. So, you should be more compassionate, more understanding. And above all, you don't need all their trouble.
Elie Wiesel
I do not deal with the text [of the Bible] scientifically. I read it, I'm interested in its layers of meaning, but my relation to it is much more an emotional one.
Elie Wiesel
The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the crematoria.

Elie Wiesel
And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most insidious danger of all.
Elie Wiesel
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Elie Wiesel
Writers write because they cannot allow the characters that inhabit them to suffocate them. These characters want to get out, to breathe fresh air and partake of the wine of friendship were they to remain locked in, they would forcibly break down the walls. It is they who force the writer to tell their stories.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
you can do something. You can, even for one person Don't turn away help. Because those who suffer, often suffer not because of the person or the group that inflicts the suffering they seem to suffer because nobody cares.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Elie Wiesel
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
Personally, as a student who loves words, who loves texts, I am concerned with finding something in the text from within.
Elie Wiesel
I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.
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
Am I my brother's keeper? There you have the whole Biblical understanding that you are your brother's keeper. You also have a whole other understanding in which you are not your brother's keeper. And I've heard some extremely bright people take this position.
Elie Wiesel
