More quotes by Elie Wiesel
In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.
Elie Wiesel
Always remember, my good friends, that there is one sin we must never commit and it is to humiliate another person or to allow another person to be humiliated in our presence without us screaming and shouting and protesting.
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
Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.
Elie Wiesel
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
What would the future of man be if it were devoid of memory?
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible.
Elie Wiesel
There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.
Elie Wiesel
It always hurts when you lose a secret.
Elie Wiesel
Perhaps fate isn't blind after all. Perhaps it's capable of fantasy, even compassion.
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
He explained to me with great insistence that every question posessed a power that did not lie in the answer.
Elie Wiesel
Writers write because they cannot allow the characters that inhabit them to suffocate them. These characters want to get out, to breathe fresh air and partake of the wine of friendship were they to remain locked in, they would forcibly break down the walls. It is they who force the writer to tell their stories.
Elie Wiesel
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.
Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
I have one request: may I never use my reason against truth.
Elie Wiesel
Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
Elie Wiesel
Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself.
Elie Wiesel
It is obvious that the war which Hitler and his accomplices waged was a war not only against Jewish men, women, and children, but also against Jewish religion, Jewish culture, Jewish tradition, therefore Jewish memory.
Elie Wiesel
[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.
Elie Wiesel
