Elie Wiesel
My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
[Moishe] explained to me, with great emphasis, that every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer.... And why do you pray, Moishe?' I asked him. I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask Him the real questions.
Elie Wiesel
