More quotes by Elie Wiesel
I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes were open and I was alone - terribly alone in a world without God and without (hu)man(ity).
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
A disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. “Rabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?” And the master of the good name said, “When you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake.

One can do without solutions. Only the questions matter. We may share them or turn away from them.
Elie Wiesel
If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching.
Elie Wiesel
I was there when God was put on trial....At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
I cannot cure everybody. I cannot help everybody. But to tell the lonely person that I am not far or different from that lonely person, that I am with him or her, that's all I think we can do and we should do.
Elie Wiesel
Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back. There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what has already been done to him. We have already paid the price.
Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
Elie Wiesel
The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.
Elie Wiesel
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
