More quotes by Elie Wiesel
We are all teachers, or should be. Anyone who relays experience to another person is a teacher. Not to transmit your experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Philosophy is a slow process of logic and logical discourse: A bringing B bringing C and so forth. In mysticism you can jump from A to Z. But the ultimate objective is the same. It's knowledge. It's truth.
Elie Wiesel
Nobody is stronger, nobody is weaker than someone who came back. There is nothing you can do to such a person because whatever you could do is less than what has already been done to him. We have already paid the price.
Elie Wiesel
I was the accuser, God the accused. My eyes were open and I was alone - terribly alone in a world without God and without (hu)man(ity).
Elie Wiesel
Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.
Elie Wiesel
The only way for us to help ourselves is to help others and to listen to each other's stories.
Elie Wiesel
Always remember, my good friends, that there is one sin we must never commit and it is to humiliate another person or to allow another person to be humiliated in our presence without us screaming and shouting and protesting.
Elie Wiesel
My anger rises up within faith and not outside it.
Elie Wiesel
The story [of the Sacrifice of Isaac ] is much more a part of theology than of history.
Elie Wiesel
If there is a single theme that dominates all my writings, all my obsessions, it is that of memory-because I fear forgetfulness as much as hatred and death.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
Elie Wiesel
Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
Elie Wiesel
The Jewish tradition of learning-is learning. Adam chose knowledge instead of immortality.
Elie Wiesel
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
Every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering not to share them would mean to betray them.
Elie Wiesel
And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most insidious danger of all.
Elie Wiesel
Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. Does that seem paradoxical? Well, war is not afraid of paradoxes.
Elie Wiesel
Drawn to childhood, the old man will seek it in a thousand different ways.
Elie Wiesel
Better that one heart be broken a thousand times in the retelling, he has decided, if it means that a thousand other hearts need not be broken at all.
Elie Wiesel
