More quotes by 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
One can do without solutions. Only the questions matter. We may share them or turn away from them.
Elie Wiesel
For the dead and the living, we must bear witness. Not only are we responsible for the memories of the dead, we are responsible for what we do with those memories
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
I really don't teach the way Professor [Frank Moore] Cross does. I don't teach the text the same way he does. I teach Biblical themes, Biblical events.
Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a military man. I wish I were, then maybe I could give some advice.
Elie Wiesel
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
Elie Wiesel
Weapons means killing. Weapons is ah, I'm simply sensitive to the word.
Elie Wiesel
The philosophers are wrong: it is not words that kill, it is silence.
Elie Wiesel
I shall always remember that smile. From what world did it come from?
Elie Wiesel
