More quotes by Elie Wiesel
I describe incidents which may or may not have happened but which are true.
Elie Wiesel
My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.
Elie Wiesel
The story [of the Sacrifice of Isaac ] is much more a part of theology than of history.
Elie Wiesel
Take sides. Neutrality always serves the oppressor and never the oppressed.
Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
Look, if I were alone in the world, I would have the right to choose despair, solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone.
Elie Wiesel
Remembering is a noble and necessary act. The call of memory, the call to memory, reaches us from the very dawn of history. No commandment figures so frequently, so insistently, in the Bible. It is incumbent upon us to remember the good we have received, and the evil we have suffered.
Elie Wiesel
[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.
Elie Wiesel
I've worked with five Presidents in America, all of them I ask the same question always: Why didn't the American allies bomb the railways going to Auschwitz?
Elie Wiesel
If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end?
Elie Wiesel
I did not weep, and it pained me that i could not weep. But I had no more tears. And, in the depths of my being, in the recesses of my weakened conscience, could I have searched it, I might perhaps have found something like--free at last!
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
Elie Wiesel
I don't know the real answer, my answer to anything which is essentially human relations is education. Whatever the answer is, education must be its measured component and if you try to educate with generosity not with triumphalism I think sometimes it works, especially young people, that's why I teach, I've been teaching all my life.
Elie Wiesel
Oh, it is not death that frightens me, but the impossibility of imparting some meaning to my past.
Elie Wiesel
If there is one person on the planet who still is suffering from loneliness and from pain or despair, and we don't know about it, or we don't want to know about it, then something is wrong with the world.
Elie Wiesel
You know, words have strange destiny, too. They grow. They get old. They die. They come back.
Elie Wiesel
Warmed-over loves and soups are generally not recommended.
Elie Wiesel
Sometimes I think I prefer the storyteller in [Roman Vishniac] to the photographer. But aren't they one and the same?
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
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
