Elie Wiesel
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity.
Elie Wiesel
There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.

Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
[ Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] was the greatest commentator [of the Bible] we ever had.
Elie Wiesel
Each man was his own executioner and his own victim.

Except if it has some historical meaning for them to have Tibet under their control. I don't understand why [ Chinese] want it so much.
Elie Wiesel
Today again the teacher is the important thing, but on the other hand anti-Semitism is growing today. No doubt about it. All over the world, especially in Europe, and it's true they begin with anti-Israeli attitudes and then it's so strong that it runs over and becomes anti-Semitic.
Elie Wiesel
People become the stories they hear and the stories they tell.
Elie Wiesel
No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has escaped the kingdom of night.
Elie Wiesel
If life is not a celebration, why remember it ? If life --- mine or that of my fellow man --- is not an offering to the other, what are we doing on this earth?
Elie Wiesel
There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
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
That is my major preoccupation, memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Elie Wiesel
My students are very special. They are my source of pride, my source of joy, my source of hope. I am terribly fond of my students.
Elie Wiesel
In Jewish tradition the Talmud is said to have been given on Sinai.
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
I make a difference between genocide and Holocaust. Holocaust was mainly Jewish, that was the only people, to the last Jew, sentenced to die for one reason, for being Jewish, that's all.
Elie Wiesel
The impact of the holocaust on believers as well as unbelievers, on Jews as well as Christians, has not yet been evaluated. Not deeply, not enough.
