More quotes by Elie Wiesel
No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has escaped the kingdom of night.
Elie Wiesel
The whole community must be saved [in Tibet].
Elie Wiesel
It's not only America. Terrorism now is a threat to the whole world.
Elie Wiesel
The Vietnam War ended because of the campus situation. And so many other injustices have been corrected in the World today only thanks to the young people. So, young people especially have a responsibility for Tibet.
Elie Wiesel
The darkest days in my life after the war, after the war, was when I discovered that the ... most of the members and commanders of the Einsatz group that were doing the killings, not even in gas chambers, but killing with machine guns, had college degrees from German universities and PhD's and MD's. Couldn't believe it.
Elie Wiesel
Except if it has some historical meaning for them to have Tibet under their control. I don't understand why [ Chinese] want it so much.
Elie Wiesel
There is Israel, for us at least. What no other generation had, we have. We have Israel in spite of all the dangers, the threats and the wars, we have Israel. We can go to Jerusalem. Generations and generations could not and we can.
Elie Wiesel
It is by his freedom that a man knows himself, by his sovereignty over his own life that a man measures himself.
Elie Wiesel
I had my religious crisis after the war, not during the war.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
When I began teaching you hardly could find a university in America or a college where they would teach either Jewish studies or Holocaust studies.
Elie Wiesel
[ Rabbi Shlomo ben Isaac] was the greatest commentator [of the Bible] we ever had.
Elie Wiesel
I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.
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
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
Be careful with words, they're dangerous. Be wary of them. They begat either demons or angels. It's up to you to give life to one or the other. Be careful, I tell you, nothing is as dangerous as giving free rein to words
Elie Wiesel
I don't know the real answer, my answer to anything which is essentially human relations is education. Whatever the answer is, education must be its measured component and if you try to educate with generosity not with triumphalism I think sometimes it works, especially young people, that's why I teach, I've been teaching all my life.
Elie Wiesel
If life is not a celebration, why remember it ? If life --- mine or that of my fellow man --- is not an offering to the other, what are we doing on this earth?
Elie Wiesel
Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty.
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
