Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
Every moment is a moment of grace, every hour an offering not to share them would mean to betray them.
Elie Wiesel
I describe incidents which may or may not have happened but which are true.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Elie Wiesel
you can do something. You can, even for one person Don't turn away help. Because those who suffer, often suffer not because of the person or the group that inflicts the suffering they seem to suffer because nobody cares.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has escaped the kingdom of night.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Indifference creates evil. Hatred is evil itself. Indifference is what allows evil to be strong, what gives it power.
Elie Wiesel
A word is worth a thousand pictures.
Elie Wiesel
In Talmudic literature, certainly in the beginning, he was like a human being - except he was a serpent. But he was talking and walking and probably dreaming.
Elie Wiesel
