More quotes by Elie Wiesel
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
Elie Wiesel
I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all.
Elie Wiesel
I developed an anger at [Moses] Mendelssohn. Later, I read the book. I realized there was nothing subversive in it.
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
I have one request: may I never use my reason against truth.
Elie Wiesel
None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims.
Elie Wiesel
Perhaps fate isn't blind after all. Perhaps it's capable of fantasy, even compassion.
Elie Wiesel
Human beings all change. Not what they are but who they are. We have the power to change what we do with our life and turn it into our destiny.
Elie Wiesel
Next to him lay his violin, trampled, an eerily poignant little corpse.
Elie Wiesel
Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history.
Elie Wiesel
A man can laugh while he suffers.
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 was 15, not 14, when I was inside there [Auschwitz], 15, and for me both were actually a surprise.
Elie Wiesel
I believe in God--in spite of God! I believe in Mankind--in spite of Mankind! I believe in the Future--in spite of the Past!
Elie Wiesel
It always hurts when you lose a secret.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
If life is not a celebration, why remember it ? If life --- mine or that of my fellow man --- is not an offering to the other, what are we doing on this earth?
Elie Wiesel
I do not believe in collective guilt.
Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
Elie Wiesel
