Elie Wiesel
You're at the bottom of the mountain. May you climb up without suffering.
Elie Wiesel
I don't think I should accept other people's suffering because I suffered. Just the opposite, because I suffered I don't want others to suffer.
Elie Wiesel
The act of writing is for me often nothing more than the secret or conscious desire to carve words on a tombstone: to the memory of a town forever vanished, to the memory of a childhood in exile, to the memory of all those I loved and who, before I could tell them I loved them, went away.
Elie Wiesel
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.
Elie Wiesel
