More quotes by Elie Wiesel
For me democracy is the only way of life. The opposite is dictatorship or anarchy.
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
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
I shall always remember that smile. From what world did it come from?
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
I thought that culture and education are the shield. An educated person cannot do certain things and, and be educated, you cannot, and there they were, killing children day after day.
Elie Wiesel
Take sides. Neutrality always serves the oppressor and never the oppressed.
Elie Wiesel
I was 15, not 14, when I was inside there [Auschwitz], 15, and for me both were actually a surprise.
Elie Wiesel
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Elie Wiesel
When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.
Elie Wiesel
Therefore, all my adult life, since I began my life as an author, or as a teacher, I always try to listen to the victim.
Elie Wiesel
Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie Wiesel
Yet another last night. The last night at home, the last night in the ghetto, the last night in the train, and, now, the last night in Buna. How much longer were our lives to be dragged out from one 'last night' to another?
Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to life as long as God himself
Elie Wiesel
Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow.
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
And action is the only remedy to indifference, the most insidious danger of all.
Elie Wiesel
The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes.
Elie Wiesel
There is Israel, for us at least. What no other generation had, we have. We have Israel in spite of all the dangers, the threats and the wars, we have Israel. We can go to Jerusalem. Generations and generations could not and we can.
