More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Life is really fascinated only by death. It vibrates only when it comes in contact with death.
Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is the most documented tragedy in recorded history. And therefore, later on, if there will be a later on, anyone wishing to know will know where to go for knowledge.
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

Elie Wiesel
The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it.
Elie Wiesel
Even in darkness it is possible to create light.
Elie Wiesel
Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
Elie Wiesel
My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.
Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
What do all my books have in common? A commitment to memory.
Elie Wiesel
