Elie Wiesel
No human being is illegal.
Elie Wiesel
did everything I could in my life to be immune to hatred, because hatred is a cancer.
Elie Wiesel
I wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So that you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don't attach any importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me.
Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
Tibet's a tragedy. It's an insult to human decency.
Elie Wiesel
Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
Elie Wiesel
I'd rather speak as a student of philosophy. Philosophically it makes no sense, absolutely makes no sense. Why should people inherit evil things when their memories could contain and should invoke good things?
Elie Wiesel
You're at the bottom of the mountain. May you climb up without suffering.
Elie Wiesel
We believed in God, trusted in man, and lived with the illusion that every one of us has been entrusted with a sacred spark.
Elie Wiesel
None of us is in a position to eliminate war, but it is our obligation to denounce it and expose it in all its hideousness. War leaves no victors, only victims.
Elie Wiesel
