More quotes by Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
I personally have no doubt that the Exodus occurred. How it occurred, I don't know.
Elie Wiesel
I am looking for the word which is there and shouldn't be there. I wonder, why is it there? Or I look for problems: the Akedah [the Binding of Isaac - Genesis 22]. It still baffles me. Each time I read it - and I read it at least twice a year - each time I discover new layers in it. Always. So this is of more concern to me than the minimalists.
Elie Wiesel
Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.
Elie Wiesel

I had to be honest with myself and that I felt hatred then, but as children say I hate you, it's not really hate, you know, it's anger.
Elie Wiesel
Only the guilty are guilty: the children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.
Elie Wiesel
My students are very special. They are my source of pride, my source of joy, my source of hope. I am terribly fond of my students.
Elie Wiesel
Sometimes I am asked if I know 'the response to Auschwitz I answer that not only do I not know it, but that I don't even know if a tragedy of this magnitude has a response.
Elie Wiesel
The world? The world is not interested in us. Today, everything is possible, even the crematoria.
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
In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a political person. I usually beware of political persons. I know many, but I'm not one of them. I have no political ambitions.
Elie Wiesel
