More quotes by Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
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
[Moishe] explained to me, with great emphasis, that every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer.... And why do you pray, Moishe?' I asked him. I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask Him the real questions.
Elie Wiesel
I have absolutely no problem with the young Germans. I even feel sorry for the young Germans because to be maybe sons or daughters of killers is different than them to be sons and daughters of the victims. And I felt sorry for them. I still do.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
I have one request: may I never use my reason against truth.
Elie Wiesel
I have an open mind - - I read, I study, I study your work and the work of other people with less talent. But that is not what I do in my writing and teaching. Still the love for the text we have in common.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.
Elie Wiesel
Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
Elie Wiesel
I came to the conclusion that I am free to choose my own suffering. But I am not free to consent to someone else's suffering.
Elie Wiesel
First we must understand that there can be no life without risk - and when our center is strong, everything else is secondary, even the risks.
Elie Wiesel
It is up to us to determine whether the years ahead will be for humankind a curse or a blessing. We always must remember that it is given to men and women to choose life and living, not death and destruction.
Elie Wiesel
The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the crematoria.
Elie Wiesel
Young people want to learn, they are thirsty for knowledge, they want to understand and remember. The main thing is to teach them where not to go. Oppression, not to go dictatorship, not to go racism and prejudice, absolutely not to go. This is a moral plan [for society].
Elie Wiesel
Personally, as a student who loves words, who loves texts, I am concerned with finding something in the text from within.
Elie Wiesel
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.
Elie Wiesel
I would say to [Chinese government], You don't need Tibet really. You don't need all the problems Tibet creates for you. It's so small, so far away. Give them their religious freedom and I know that they wouldn't misuse it.
Elie Wiesel
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
