Elie Wiesel
Writing should not be routine writing should actually be the opposite of procedural because otherwise the written word would become a routine word.
Elie Wiesel
I remember those faces of people who were good I saw that. I saw a father who gave his bread to his son and his son gave back the bread to his father. That, to me, was such a defeat of the enemies, will of the enemies, theories of the enemies, aspirations, here [in Auschwitz].
Elie Wiesel
There is Israel, for us at least. What no other generation had, we have. We have Israel in spite of all the dangers, the threats and the wars, we have Israel. We can go to Jerusalem. Generations and generations could not and we can.

Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
In Jewish tradition the Talmud is said to have been given on Sinai.
Elie Wiesel
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish trust - which is vain and illusion - which is dangerous.
Elie Wiesel
There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.
Elie Wiesel
Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile.
Elie Wiesel
For me democracy is the only way of life. The opposite is dictatorship or anarchy.
Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to life as long as God himself
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
