More quotes by Elie Wiesel
In Jewish tradition the Talmud is said to have been given on Sinai.
Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is the most documented tragedy in recorded history. And therefore, later on, if there will be a later on, anyone wishing to know will know where to go for knowledge.
Elie Wiesel
Only fanatics — in religion as well as in politics — can find a meaning in someone else’s death.
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
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.
Elie Wiesel
It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.
Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is not a cheap soap opera. The Holocaust is not a romantic novel. It is something else.
Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
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
There is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent.
Elie Wiesel
I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both.
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
Elie Wiesel
Today there isn't a university where they don't have special courses [Jewish studies or Holocaust studies], hundreds and hundreds of universities, young people today want to know more than their elders did, much more, and therefore I am very optimistic about young people.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
We believed in God, trusted in man, and lived with the illusion that every one of us has been entrusted with a sacred spark.
Elie Wiesel
For nearly 3,500 years Exodus has left such an imprint on people's memories that I cannot imagine it had been invented just as a legend or a tale.
Elie Wiesel
I have tried to keep memory alive... I have tried to fight those who would forget. Because if we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices.
Elie Wiesel
There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.
