More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Every moment contains a spark of eternity.
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
The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret.
Elie Wiesel
I was 15, not 14, when I was inside there [Auschwitz], 15, and for me both were actually a surprise.
Elie Wiesel
Holy War is a contradiction of terms.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
We know, for instance, of The Book of the Wars of the Lord. It is mentioned in the text [Numbers 21:14]. There was a book: Where is it? One day you will dig and you will maybe find it. [Laughter]
Elie Wiesel
Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor - never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.
Elie Wiesel
I'd rather speak as a student of philosophy. Philosophically it makes no sense, absolutely makes no sense. Why should people inherit evil things when their memories could contain and should invoke good things?
Elie Wiesel
I personally have no doubt that the Exodus occurred. How it occurred, I don't know.
Elie Wiesel
Each man was his own executioner and his own victim.
Elie Wiesel
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Politicians, they give the visible aspect of the change, but the change, the root, the anchor are in young people.
Elie Wiesel
It's not only America. Terrorism now is a threat to the whole world.
Elie Wiesel
There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.
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
We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.
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
My anger rises up within faith and not outside it.
Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
