More quotes by Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
It's not a weapon, [governments] don't kill, they don't conduct massacres, although massacres have been committed and many people were killed, but they stifle religion, they're afraid probably.
Elie Wiesel
It's not only America. Terrorism now is a threat to the whole world.
Elie Wiesel
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.

Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....Never shall I forget those moments which murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to dust. Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God Himself. Never.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
There is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent.
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible and they show that there were times, and there probably are times, that it is human to be inhuman.
Elie Wiesel
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
Elie Wiesel
We've sort of agreed that the account of Adam and Eve is a story.
Elie Wiesel
How can a human being be illegal?
Elie Wiesel
..you do not leave a library if you do what it wants you to do, you are taking it with you.
Elie Wiesel
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
Elie Wiesel
