More quotes by Elie Wiesel
When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.
Elie Wiesel
I don't know the real answer, my answer to anything which is essentially human relations is education. Whatever the answer is, education must be its measured component and if you try to educate with generosity not with triumphalism I think sometimes it works, especially young people, that's why I teach, I've been teaching all my life.
Elie Wiesel
I don't believe in collective guilt. The children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
There are moments when I think it will never end, that it will last indefinitely. It's like the rain. Here the rain, like everything else, suggests permanence and eternity. I say to myself: it's raining today and it's going to rain tomorrow and the next day, the next week and the next century.

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.
Elie Wiesel
Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.
Elie Wiesel
Writing should not be routine writing should actually be the opposite of procedural because otherwise the written word would become a routine word.
Elie Wiesel
Only fanatics — in religion as well as in politics — can find a meaning in someone else’s death.
Elie Wiesel
Whether every story that's there [in the Bible] is a historic truth ... Again, I'm not concerned.
Elie Wiesel
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish trust - which is vain and illusion - which is dangerous.
Elie Wiesel
Every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering not to share them would mean to betray them.
Elie Wiesel
Only one enemy is worse than despair: indifference. In every area of human creativity, indifference is the enemy indifference of evil is worse than evil, because it is also sterile.
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
The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.
Elie Wiesel
I don't think [governments] use [religious repression ] as a weapon, they use it as a as a means of - of oppression. To stifle opposition. To mute resistance.
Elie Wiesel
Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies.
