Elie Wiesel
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
Politicians, they give the visible aspect of the change, but the change, the root, the anchor are in young people.

They are committing the greatest indignity human beings can inflict on one another: telling people who have suffered excruciating pain and loss that their pain and loss were illusions. (v)
Elie Wiesel
Whenever an angel says Be not afraid! you'd better start worrying. A big assignment is on the way.
Elie Wiesel
No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has escaped the kingdom of night.
Elie Wiesel
