More quotes by 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
The Holocaust is not a cheap soap opera. The Holocaust is not a romantic novel. It is something else.
Elie Wiesel
Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Elie Wiesel
Paris: city of encounters, of furtive and painful discoveries. All isms converge there, including the anti-isms, all the revolutionaries too, including the counterrevolutionaries .
Elie Wiesel
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
Elie Wiesel
My teachers [ had the most impact in my life]. Of course, my father and grandfather, but after my family, my teachers.
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
I marvel at the resilience of the Jewish people. Their best characteristic is their desire to remember. No other people has such an obsession with memory.
Elie Wiesel
Just as there are predatory birds, so there are predatory ideas: I came under their spell. . . .Just as the survivors say that no one will ever understand the victims, what I must tell you is that you will never understand the executioners.
Elie Wiesel
One person of integrity can make a difference.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a military man. I wish I were, then maybe I could give some advice.
Elie Wiesel
I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it . . .
Elie Wiesel
Each man was his own executioner and his own victim.
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
did everything I could in my life to be immune to hatred, because hatred is a cancer.
Elie Wiesel
No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.
Elie Wiesel
If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end?
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
Do you know what laughter is? I'll tell you. It's God's mistake. When God made man in order to bend him to his wishes he carelessly gave him the gift of laughter.
Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed.
Elie Wiesel
