More quotes by Elie Wiesel
When I say it doesn't make much difference, I mean in terms of the importance of the piece of literature.
Elie Wiesel
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
Elie Wiesel
Next to him lay his violin, trampled, an eerily poignant little corpse.
Elie Wiesel
Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.
Elie Wiesel
Usually I get up early every morning and from 6:00 to 10:00 I write. The rest of the time I study and prepare my work or I do other things. But four hours a day are exclusively devoted to writing.
Elie Wiesel
It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town.
Elie Wiesel
I learned to trust the threats of enemies before the promises of friends.
Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
Elie Wiesel
The story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac are nowhere in any other tradition.
Elie Wiesel
I was there when God was put on trial....At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than 'guilty'. It means 'He owes us something'. Then we went to pray.
Elie Wiesel
Weapons means killing. Weapons is ah, I'm simply sensitive to the word.
Elie Wiesel
I describe incidents which may or may not have happened but which are true.
Elie Wiesel
The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret.
Elie Wiesel
Memory is the keyword which combines past with present, past and future.
Elie Wiesel
I do not deal with the text [of the Bible] scientifically. I read it, I'm interested in its layers of meaning, but my relation to it is much more an emotional one.
Elie Wiesel
I do not believe in collective guilt.
Elie Wiesel
Only the guilty are guilty: the children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
Why is war such an easy option? Why does peace remain such an elusive goal? We know statesmen skilled at waging war, but where are those dedicated enough to humanity to find a way to avoid war
Elie Wiesel
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish trust - which is vain and illusion - which is dangerous.
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
