More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Politicians, they give the visible aspect of the change, but the change, the root, the anchor are in young people.
Elie Wiesel
Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.
Elie Wiesel
Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.
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
I don't speak about my pain. My pain is something that doesn't need to be purged. I want to prevent people from suffering. I don't speak about my suffering. Suffering is something personal and discreet. Also, I know it will never leave me. I don't want it to leave me. It would be a betrayal.
Elie Wiesel
I personally have no doubt that the Exodus occurred. How it occurred, I don't know.
Elie Wiesel
Emphasis must be put on learning: there is no substitute to education. It can be briefly formulated in a few words: always, whatever you do in life, think higher and feel deeper.
Elie Wiesel
I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.
Elie Wiesel
You cross a border and the policeman or the frontier policeman look at you, What are you doing here? Why are you coming? How long will you stay? Well, if I had nearly enough years, I would write a novel about being a refugee.
Elie Wiesel
[Tibet] never sought any territory. All it wanted is the conquest of the soul, that people should attain a kind of inner sovereignty, inner independence, inner freedom. And inner strength to attain the absolute.
Elie Wiesel
Life is really fascinated only by death. It vibrates only when it comes in contact with death.
Elie Wiesel
Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.
Elie Wiesel
Will you join me in hearing the case for keeping weapons from those who preach death to Israel and America?
Elie Wiesel
In my tradition, one must wait until one has learned a lot of Bible and Talmud and the Prophets to handle mysticism. This isn't instant coffee. There is no instant mysticism.
Elie Wiesel
There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.
Elie Wiesel
Every moment contains a spark of eternity.
Elie Wiesel
I have an open mind - - I read, I study, I study your work and the work of other people with less talent. But that is not what I do in my writing and teaching. Still the love for the text we have in common.
Elie Wiesel
I make a difference between genocide and Holocaust. Holocaust was mainly Jewish, that was the only people, to the last Jew, sentenced to die for one reason, for being Jewish, that's all.
Elie Wiesel
Even in darkness it is possible to create light.
Elie Wiesel
He explained to me with great insistence that every question posessed a power that did not lie in the answer.
