Warmed-over loves and soups are generally not recommended.

When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.

Today again the teacher is the important thing, but on the other hand anti-Semitism is growing today. No doubt about it. All over the world, especially in Europe, and it's true they begin with anti-Israeli attitudes and then it's so strong that it runs over and becomes anti-Semitic.

[Memory] is a passion no less powerful or pervasive than love. It is [the ability] to live in more than one world, to prevent the past from fading, and to call upon the future to illuminate it.
Elie Wiesel
Image
Man prefers to blame himself for all possible sins and crimes rather than come to the conclusion that God is capable of the most flagrant injustice. I still blush every time I think of the way God makes fun of human beings, his favorite toys.

Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.
Elie Wiesel

My anger rises up within faith and not outside it.
Elie Wiesel
Image
Holy War is a contradiction of terms.
Elie Wiesel
Image
We are all teachers, or should be. Anyone who relays experience to another person is a teacher. Not to transmit your experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Image
I've been fighting my entire adult life for men and women everywhere to be equal and to be different. But there is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent.
Elie Wiesel
Image
I cannot cure everybody. I cannot help everybody. But to tell the lonely person that I am not far or different from that lonely person, that I am with him or her, that's all I think we can do and we should do.
Elie Wiesel
Image
Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
Elie Wiesel
Image
I had to be honest with myself and that I felt hatred then, but as children say I hate you, it's not really hate, you know, it's anger.
Elie Wiesel
Image
The philosophers are wrong: it is not words that kill, it is silence.
Elie Wiesel
Image
For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.
Elie Wiesel
Image
For the good of all, I say: Be careful, the brutality of the world must not be more powerful or attractive than love and friendship.

Whenever an angel says Be not afraid! you'd better start worrying. A big assignment is on the way.
