More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
Elie Wiesel
[Friedrich] Nietzsche said something marvellous, he said Madness is not a consequence of uncertainty but of certainty, and this is fanaticism.
Elie Wiesel
Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America?
Elie Wiesel
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
Elie Wiesel
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel
Simply because, one hand, there are the haters, The hater has power. All we can do is oppose it, or one becomes an accomplice.
Elie Wiesel
Only the guilty are guilty: the children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
Each man was his own executioner and his own victim.
Elie Wiesel
If the Book of the Law could be forgotten for so many years, who knows what was done to it during those years? Maybe it was lost later, too. And another one replaced it, and that one is no longer the original text. These are questions that perturb me much more than whether it's history or not history.
Elie Wiesel
It is up to us to determine whether the years ahead will be for humankind a curse or a blessing. We always must remember that it is given to men and women to choose life and living, not death and destruction.
Elie Wiesel
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
Elie Wiesel
It is by his freedom that a man knows himself, by his sovereignty over his own life that a man measures himself.
Elie Wiesel
There is a coalition of anti-Semitism today, the extreme left, the extreme right and in the middle the huge corpus of Islam. I'm worried, I go around with a very heavy heart.
Elie Wiesel
[ Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] was the greatest commentator [of the Bible] we ever had.
Elie Wiesel
I shall always remember that smile. From what world did it come from?
Elie Wiesel
Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
Elie Wiesel
I don't speak about my pain. My pain is something that doesn't need to be purged. I want to prevent people from suffering. I don't speak about my suffering. Suffering is something personal and discreet. Also, I know it will never leave me. I don't want it to leave me. It would be a betrayal.
Elie Wiesel
I really don't teach the way Professor [Frank Moore] Cross does. I don't teach the text the same way he does. I teach Biblical themes, Biblical events.
Elie Wiesel
I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.
Elie Wiesel
