More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
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
The stars were only sparks of the fire which devoured us. Should that fire die out one day, there would be nothing left in the sky but dead stars, dead eyes.
Elie Wiesel
did everything I could in my life to be immune to hatred, because hatred is a cancer.

I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Elie Wiesel
Tibet's a tragedy. It's an insult to human decency.
Elie Wiesel
I would hesitate to give advice to the Dalai Lama and his people because they are suffering. The Dalai Lama suffered from exile and the people in Tibet suffer from oppression.
Elie Wiesel
The philosophers are wrong: it is not words that kill, it is silence.
Elie Wiesel
Love makes everything complicated.
Elie Wiesel

He explained to me with great insistence that every question posessed a power that did not lie in the answer.
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible.
Elie Wiesel
It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed.
Elie Wiesel
My students are very special. They are my source of pride, my source of joy, my source of hope. I am terribly fond of my students.
Elie Wiesel
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
Elie Wiesel
A Jew who converted, who simulated, was, at least in some periods, safe. Hitler in the beginning did not want to kill all the Jews but he wanted us to have a Germany free of Jews. If America had allowed Jews to come in, the British had accepted Jews from Palestine, they were safe.
Elie Wiesel
Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history.
Elie Wiesel
How can a human being be illegal?
