We are all teachers, or should be. Anyone who relays experience to another person is a teacher. Not to transmit your experience is to betray it.

More quotes by Elie Wiesel
The story [of the Sacrifice of Isaac ] is much more a part of theology than of history.
Elie Wiesel
Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
Elie Wiesel
I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both.
Elie Wiesel
Everybody around us was weeping. Someone began to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. I don't know whether, during the history of the Jewish people, men have ever before recited Kaddish for themselves.
Elie Wiesel
You know how many reasons we have to be desperate and despairing, the world is not learning anything. We have seen that.
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
If the Book of the Law could be forgotten for so many years, who knows what was done to it during those years? Maybe it was lost later, too. And another one replaced it, and that one is no longer the original text. These are questions that perturb me much more than whether it's history or not history.
Elie Wiesel
One person of integrity can make a difference.
Elie Wiesel
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.
Elie Wiesel
I believe in the story [ of Adam and Eve]. For me, it's a story.
Elie Wiesel
I had to be honest with myself and that I felt hatred then, but as children say I hate you, it's not really hate, you know, it's anger.
Elie Wiesel
I learned to trust the threats of enemies before the promises of friends.
Elie Wiesel
[The Bible] is been my passion almost from my youth.
Elie Wiesel
Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.
Elie Wiesel
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
Elie Wiesel
Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.
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
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
Elie Wiesel
There are moments when I think it will never end, that it will last indefinitely. It's like the rain. Here the rain, like everything else, suggests permanence and eternity. I say to myself: it's raining today and it's going to rain tomorrow and the next day, the next week and the next century.
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
