More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Philosophy is a slow process of logic and logical discourse: A bringing B bringing C and so forth. In mysticism you can jump from A to Z. But the ultimate objective is the same. It's knowledge. It's truth.
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
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
I don't want my past to become anyone else's future.
Elie Wiesel
I think so. 9/11 has been a turning point in American history, there's no doubt about that.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish trust - which is vain and illusion - which is dangerous.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
The Holocaust is the most documented tragedy in recorded history. And therefore, later on, if there will be a later on, anyone wishing to know will know where to go for knowledge.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
Whatever you think in life... think higher and feel deeper.
Elie Wiesel
Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.
Elie Wiesel
Today, as yesterday, a nation is judged by its attitude towards refugees.
Elie Wiesel
All those - or most of those - who went through the experience during the Second World War - they want to remember more - more and more. It's never enough because we feel that we have to tell the story. And no one can tell the story fully.
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
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
Elie Wiesel
In Jewish tradition the Talmud is said to have been given on Sinai.
Elie Wiesel
First we must understand that there can be no life without risk - and when our center is strong, everything else is secondary, even the risks.
Elie Wiesel
I learned to trust the threats of enemies before the promises of friends.
Elie Wiesel
