More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Emphasis must be put on learning: there is no substitute to education. It can be briefly formulated in a few words: always, whatever you do in life, think higher and feel deeper.
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
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
Perhaps fate isn't blind after all. Perhaps it's capable of fantasy, even compassion.
Elie Wiesel
The Vietnam War ended because of the campus situation. And so many other injustices have been corrected in the World today only thanks to the young people. So, young people especially have a responsibility for Tibet.
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
If God exists, how can we lay claim to freedom, since He is its beginning and its end?
Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.
Elie Wiesel
I would say to [Chinese government], You don't need Tibet really. You don't need all the problems Tibet creates for you. It's so small, so far away. Give them their religious freedom and I know that they wouldn't misuse it.
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
Writing should not be routine writing should actually be the opposite of procedural because otherwise the written word would become a routine word.
Elie Wiesel
Music does not replace words, it gives tone to the words
Elie Wiesel
I became one of [Moses Mendelssohn] defenders. But then I heard the words Biblical criticism again. And, of course, afterward, I studied it more closely.
Elie Wiesel
I was there when God was put on trial....At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray.
Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
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
Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. Does that seem paradoxical? Well, war is not afraid of paradoxes.
Elie Wiesel
Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.
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
