More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.
Elie Wiesel
The only place where I felt at home, on familiar ground, was the Jewish cemetery. And yet I had never set foot in it before. Children had been forbidden to enter.
Elie Wiesel
When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.
Elie Wiesel
Naturally, the human being wants to forget pain.
Elie Wiesel
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Music does not replace words, it gives tone to the words
Elie Wiesel
In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.
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
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible and they show that there were times, and there probably are times, that it is human to be inhuman.
Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
Every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering not to share them would mean to betray them.
Elie Wiesel
Simply because, one hand, there are the haters, The hater has power. All we can do is oppose it, or one becomes an accomplice.
Elie Wiesel
Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
Elie Wiesel
I wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So that you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don't attach any importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me.
Elie Wiesel
Why is war such an easy option? Why does peace remain such an elusive goal? We know statesmen skilled at waging war, but where are those dedicated enough to humanity to find a way to avoid war
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see. In the face of injustice, one may not look the other way. When someone suffers, and it is not you, that person comes first. One's very suffering gives one priority. . . . To watch over one who grieves is a more urgent duty than to think of God.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a political person. I usually beware of political persons. I know many, but I'm not one of them. I have no political ambitions.
Elie Wiesel
One thing is that [Tibetans] should not give up hope. That's - even [if] it lasts a century. My discussions with the Dalai Lama always were about that.
Elie Wiesel
Only the guilty are guilty: the children of killers are not killers, but children.
