Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back. There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what has already been done to him. We have already paid the price.

More quotes by 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
There is Israel, for us at least. What no other generation had, we have. We have Israel in spite of all the dangers, the threats and the wars, we have Israel. We can go to Jerusalem. Generations and generations could not and we can.
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible.
Elie Wiesel
Go over to Greece with the Iliad and Odyssey. These have elements of history, and they have non-historical elements. It's very difficult to pull them apart. And I think there's not much reason to.
Elie Wiesel
[Memory] is a passion no less powerful or pervasive than love. It is [the ability] to live in more than one world, to prevent the past from fading, and to call upon the future to illuminate it.
Elie Wiesel
Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.
Elie Wiesel
Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America?
Elie Wiesel
Sometimes I think I prefer the storyteller in [Roman Vishniac] to the photographer. But aren't they one and the same?
Elie Wiesel
Next to him lay his violin, trampled, an eerily poignant little corpse.
Elie Wiesel
Every Jew, somewhere in his being, should set apart a zone of hate - healthy virile hate - for what the German personifies and for what persists in the German.
Elie Wiesel
Take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim.
Elie Wiesel
The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the crematoria.
Elie Wiesel
A man can laugh while he suffers.
Elie Wiesel
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is a sacred subject. One should take off one's shoes when entering its domain, one should tremble each time one pronounces the word.
Elie Wiesel
I think [teacher] is the noblest profession.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
It's not only America. Terrorism now is a threat to the whole world.
Elie Wiesel
We know, for instance, of The Book of the Wars of the Lord. It is mentioned in the text [Numbers 21:14]. There was a book: Where is it? One day you will dig and you will maybe find it. [Laughter]
Elie Wiesel
He wants to see whether we are capable of overcoming out base instincts, of killing the Satan within ourselves. We have no right to despair. And if he punishes us mercilessly, it is a sign that He loves us that much more.
