More quotes by Elie Wiesel
All those - or most of those - who went through the experience during the Second World War - they want to remember more - more and more. It's never enough because we feel that we have to tell the story. And no one can tell the story fully.
Elie Wiesel
We're alone, but we are capable of communicating to one another both our loneliness and our desire to break through it. You say, 'I'm alone.' Someone answers, 'I'm alone too.' There's a shift in the scale of power. A bridge is thrown between the two abysses.
Elie Wiesel
That is my major preoccupation, memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Elie Wiesel
Warmed-over loves and soups are generally not recommended.
Elie Wiesel
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.
Elie Wiesel
You're at the bottom of the mountain. May you climb up without suffering.
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
I believe in God--in spite of God! I believe in Mankind--in spite of Mankind! I believe in the Future--in spite of the Past!
Elie Wiesel
In Jewish tradition the Talmud is said to have been given on Sinai.
Elie Wiesel
Every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering not to share them would mean to betray them.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
The Jewish tradition of learning-is learning. Adam chose knowledge instead of immortality.
Elie Wiesel
Even in darkness it is possible to create light and encourage compassion. That it is possible to feel free inside a prison. That even in exile, friendship exists and can become an anchor. That one instant before dying, man is still immortal.
Elie Wiesel
Life is really fascinated only by death. It vibrates only when it comes in contact with death.
Elie Wiesel
Politicians, they give the visible aspect of the change, but the change, the root, the anchor are in young people.
Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
The darkest days in my life after the war, after the war, was when I discovered that the ... most of the members and commanders of the Einsatz group that were doing the killings, not even in gas chambers, but killing with machine guns, had college degrees from German universities and PhD's and MD's. Couldn't believe it.
Elie Wiesel
The story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac are nowhere in any other tradition.
