More quotes by Elie Wiesel
I thought that culture and education are the shield. An educated person cannot do certain things and, and be educated, you cannot, and there they were, killing children day after day.
Elie Wiesel
I don't think I should accept other people's suffering because I suffered. Just the opposite, because I suffered I don't want others to suffer.
Elie Wiesel
..you do not leave a library if you do what it wants you to do, you are taking it with you.
Elie Wiesel
There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.
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
Drawn to childhood, the old man will seek it in a thousand different ways.
Elie Wiesel
I did not weep, and it pained me that i could not weep. But I had no more tears. And, in the depths of my being, in the recesses of my weakened conscience, could I have searched it, I might perhaps have found something like--free at last!
Elie Wiesel
Some events do take place but are not true others are, although they never occurred.
Elie Wiesel
Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds.
Elie Wiesel
Today, as yesterday, a nation is judged by its attitude towards refugees.
Elie Wiesel
For the good of all, I say: Be careful, the brutality of the world must not be more powerful or attractive than love and friendship.
Elie Wiesel
The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.
Elie Wiesel
I shall never forget Juliek. How could I forget this concert given before an audience of the dead and dying? Even today, when I hear that particular piece by Beethoven, my eyes close and out of the darkness emerges the pale and melancholy face of my Polish comrade bidding farewell to an audience of dying men.
Elie Wiesel
Granted that every war is madness-civil war, fratricide, is the worst of all it reaches deeper into ugliness, cruelty and absurdity.
Elie Wiesel
I don't see the junk youth. I only meet students, and even those who are not formally at the university, if they come to listen to me, they come to read me, it means they are not junk students.
Elie Wiesel
I have no doubt that faith is only pure when it does not negate the faith of another. I have no doubt that evil can be fought and that indifference is no option. I have no doubt that fanaticism is dangerous. And of all the books in the world on life, I have no doubt that the life of one person weighs more than them all.
Elie Wiesel
In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.
Elie Wiesel
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.
Elie Wiesel
The whole community must be saved [in Tibet].
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible and they show that there were times, and there probably are times, that it is human to be inhuman.
