More quotes by Elie Wiesel
When you die and go to heaven our maker is not going to ask, 'why didn't you discover the cure for such and such? why didn't you become the Messiah?' The only question we will be asked in that precious moment is 'why didn't you become you?'
Elie Wiesel
If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching.
Elie Wiesel
I have an open mind - - I read, I study, I study your work and the work of other people with less talent. But that is not what I do in my writing and teaching. Still the love for the text we have in common.
Elie Wiesel
I belong to a tradition that believes that the death of a single child is a blemish on creation.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
Elie Wiesel
When I have my manuscript finished, more or less, I type it myself, with two fingers. I type fast with two fingers. And then when it's ready, I reread, recorrect, and retype it. Everything is my own work. I do not give it to secretaries or to typists.
Elie Wiesel
I shall never forget Juliek. How could I forget this concert given before an audience of the dead and dying? Even today, when I hear that particular piece by Beethoven, my eyes close and out of the darkness emerges the pale and melancholy face of my Polish comrade bidding farewell to an audience of dying men.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
It's not hatred that kills people, it's indifference
Elie Wiesel
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
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've organised for the last years, since I got the Nobel Prize actually, Anatomy of Hate Conferences all over the world, what is hate. Didn't help but at least they explored it.
Elie Wiesel
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
I have tried to keep memory alive... I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices.
Elie Wiesel
We've sort of agreed that the account of Adam and Eve is a story.
Elie Wiesel
No human being is illegal.
Elie Wiesel
Personally, as a student who loves words, who loves texts, I am concerned with finding something in the text from within.
Elie Wiesel
Oh, it is not death that frightens me, but the impossibility of imparting some meaning to my past.
Elie Wiesel
I have absolutely no problem with the young Germans. I even feel sorry for the young Germans because to be maybe sons or daughters of killers is different than them to be sons and daughters of the victims. And I felt sorry for them. I still do.
Elie Wiesel
A word is worth a thousand pictures.
