More quotes by 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
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel
[Moishe] explained to me, with great emphasis, that every question possessed a power that was lost in the answer.... And why do you pray, Moishe?' I asked him. I pray to the God within me for the strength to ask Him the real questions.
Elie Wiesel
If you ask me what I want to achieve, it's to create an awareness, which is already the beginning of teaching.
Elie Wiesel
When I began teaching you hardly could find a university in America or a college where they would teach either Jewish studies or Holocaust studies.
Elie Wiesel
After all, God is God because he remembers.
Elie Wiesel
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
Elie Wiesel
My faith is a wounded faith, but my life is not without faith. I didn't divorce God, but I'm quarrelling and arguing and questioning, it's a wounded faith.
Elie Wiesel
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.
Elie Wiesel
Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul and turned my dreams to ashes.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
A man who is fighting for the future of mankind is not waiting for torture, he's waiting for -- the Revolution.
Elie Wiesel
Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Therefore, all my adult life, since I began my life as an author, or as a teacher, I always try to listen to the victim.
Elie Wiesel
Love makes everything complicated.
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
Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
Elie Wiesel
We didn't really differ [with Frank Moore Cross] because we have the same love of the text. We share that love.
Elie Wiesel
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
Elie Wiesel
Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
Elie Wiesel
