Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
For the good of all, I say: Be careful, the brutality of the world must not be more powerful or attractive than love and friendship.
Elie Wiesel
When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.
Elie Wiesel
I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both.
Elie Wiesel
It's not hatred that kills people, it's indifference
Elie Wiesel
you can do something. You can, even for one person Don't turn away help. Because those who suffer, often suffer not because of the person or the group that inflicts the suffering they seem to suffer because nobody cares.
Elie Wiesel
Indifference is the sign of sickness, a sickness of the soul more contagious than any other.
