More quotes by Elie Wiesel
When I have my manuscript finished, more or less, I type it myself, with two fingers. I type fast with two fingers. And then when it's ready, I reread, recorrect, and retype it. Everything is my own work. I do not give it to secretaries or to typists.

Elie Wiesel
A voice behind me asked, Where is God? Where is He? Where can He be now? and a voice within me answered: Where? Here He is - He has been hanged here, on these gallows.
Elie Wiesel
For me democracy is the only way of life. The opposite is dictatorship or anarchy.
Elie Wiesel
Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
..you do not leave a library if you do what it wants you to do, you are taking it with you.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
You’re shaking … so am I. It’s because of Jerusalem, isn’t it? One doesn’t go to Jerusalem, one returns to it. That’s one of its mysteries.
Elie Wiesel
