Elie Wiesel
When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.
Elie Wiesel
I remember those faces of people who were good I saw that. I saw a father who gave his bread to his son and his son gave back the bread to his father. That, to me, was such a defeat of the enemies, will of the enemies, theories of the enemies, aspirations, here [in Auschwitz].
Elie Wiesel
No one may speak for the dead, no one may interpret their mutilated dreams and visions.
Elie Wiesel
If there is one person on the planet who still is suffering from loneliness and from pain or despair, and we don't know about it, or we don't want to know about it, then something is wrong with the world.
Elie Wiesel
One can do without solutions. Only the questions matter. We may share them or turn away from them.
Elie Wiesel
Oh, it is not death that frightens me, but the impossibility of imparting some meaning to my past.
Elie Wiesel
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.
Elie Wiesel
I believe in God--in spite of God! I believe in Mankind--in spite of Mankind! I believe in the Future--in spite of the Past!
Elie Wiesel
