And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most insidious danger of all.
Elie Wiesel
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Even if people tell me they have historical proof [that it is not historical], that doesn't really bother me.
Elie Wiesel
One can do without solutions. Only the questions matter. We may share them or turn away from them.
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
The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.
Elie Wiesel
A voice behind me asked, Where is God? Where is He? Where can He be now? and a voice within me answered: Where? Here He is - He has been hanged here, on these gallows.
Elie Wiesel
Of course, afterward, I studied [commentary on the Bible by a Rabbi Moshe Dessauer] more closely. But, in truth, it doesn't touch me. It doesn't change my attitude toward the text.
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
Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile.
Elie Wiesel
Judaism is in a sense a Rabbinic, Talmudic religion, rather than a Biblical religion.
Elie Wiesel
Except if it has some historical meaning for them to have Tibet under their control. I don't understand why [ Chinese] want it so much.
Elie Wiesel
Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
Elie Wiesel
I had my religious crisis after the war, not during the war.
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
It is by his freedom that a man knows himself, by his sovereignty over his own life that a man measures himself.
Elie Wiesel
I think he is condemned by himself to loneliness. God is One: he was, he is, he will be always One. One is so lonely. Maybe that is why he created human beings--to feel less lonely. But as human beings betray his creation, he may become even lonelier.
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
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see. In the face of injustice, one may not look the other way. When someone suffers, and it is not you, that person comes first. One's very suffering gives one priority. . . . To watch over one who grieves is a more urgent duty than to think of God.
Elie Wiesel
