More quotes by Elie Wiesel
[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.
Elie Wiesel
[ Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] was the greatest commentator [of the Bible] we ever had.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a political person. I usually beware of political persons. I know many, but I'm not one of them. I have no political ambitions.
Elie Wiesel
Politicians, they give the visible aspect of the change, but the change, the root, the anchor are in young people.
Elie Wiesel
Words can be turned into spears. They can be turned into prayers. It's a strange world that you are in. But you deal with words.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
I remember those faces of people who were good I saw that. I saw a father who gave his bread to his son and his son gave back the bread to his father. That, to me, was such a defeat of the enemies, will of the enemies, theories of the enemies, aspirations, here [in Auschwitz].
Elie Wiesel
The impact of the holocaust on believers as well as unbelievers, on Jews as well as Christians, has not yet been evaluated. Not deeply, not enough.
Elie Wiesel
When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.
Elie Wiesel
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
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
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
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
Naturally, the human being wants to forget pain.
Elie Wiesel
Tibet's a tragedy. It's an insult to human decency.
Elie Wiesel
It always hurts when you lose a secret.
Elie Wiesel
My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.
Elie Wiesel
You cross a border and the policeman or the frontier policeman look at you, What are you doing here? Why are you coming? How long will you stay? Well, if I had nearly enough years, I would write a novel about being a refugee.
Elie Wiesel
Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
Elie Wiesel
No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.
Elie Wiesel
