More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to life as long as God himself
Elie Wiesel
For me democracy is the only way of life. The opposite is dictatorship or anarchy.
Elie Wiesel
Go over to Greece with the Iliad and Odyssey. These have elements of history, and they have non-historical elements. It's very difficult to pull them apart. And I think there's not much reason to.
Elie Wiesel
Life is really fascinated only by death. It vibrates only when it comes in contact with death.
Elie Wiesel
I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it . . .
Elie Wiesel
Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty.

[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.
Elie Wiesel
God made (human beings) because he loves stories.
Elie Wiesel
One thing is that [Tibetans] should not give up hope. That's - even [if] it lasts a century. My discussions with the Dalai Lama always were about that.
Elie Wiesel
I think so. 9/11 has been a turning point in American history, there's no doubt about that.
Elie Wiesel
My students are very special. They are my source of pride, my source of joy, my source of hope. I am terribly fond of my students.
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible.
Elie Wiesel
No human being is illegal.
Elie Wiesel
There is Israel, for us at least. What no other generation had, we have. We have Israel in spite of all the dangers, the threats and the wars, we have Israel. We can go to Jerusalem. Generations and generations could not and we can.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
Just as man cannot live without dreams, he cannot live without hope. If dreams reflect the past, hope summons the future.
Elie Wiesel
I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all.
Elie Wiesel
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Elie Wiesel
[Shirat ha-Yam ] is one of the earliest, if not the earliest, pieces of Biblical literature that we possess. It is much closer to history than later traditions of the Exodus.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
