More quotes by Elie Wiesel
When adults wage war, children perish.
Elie Wiesel
The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.
Elie Wiesel
Only the guilty are guilty: the children of killers are not killers, but children.
Elie Wiesel
You shouldn’t act as a spokesperson for someone who’s trying to impose his will on you.
Elie Wiesel
Whenever an angel says Be not afraid! you'd better start worrying. A big assignment is on the way.
Elie Wiesel
A man can laugh while he suffers.
Elie Wiesel
Usually I get up early every morning and from 6:00 to 10:00 I write. The rest of the time I study and prepare my work or I do other things. But four hours a day are exclusively devoted to writing.
Elie Wiesel
I learned to trust the threats of enemies before the promises of friends.
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
You know how many reasons we have to be desperate and despairing, the world is not learning anything. We have seen that.
Elie Wiesel
I had my religious crisis after the war, not during the war.
Elie Wiesel
Indifference elicits no response. Indifference is not a response. Indifference is not a beginning it is an end. And, therefore, indifference is always the friend of the enemy, for it benefits the aggressor - never his victim, whose pain is magnified when he or she feels forgotten.
Elie Wiesel
I shall always remember that smile. From what world did it come from?
Elie Wiesel
When I see a child who is hungry, I see a person who is humiliated.
Elie Wiesel
In the beginning there was faith - which is childish trust - which is vain and illusion - which is dangerous.
Elie Wiesel
There is no word in Hebrew for religion, by the way.
Elie Wiesel
They are committing the greatest indignity human beings can inflict on one another: telling people who have suffered excruciating pain and loss that their pain and loss were illusions. (v)
Elie Wiesel
The story of Abraham and the sacrifice of Isaac are nowhere in any other tradition.
Elie Wiesel
Though we talk peace, we wage war. Sometimes we even wage war in the name of peace. Does that seem paradoxical? Well, war is not afraid of paradoxes.
Elie Wiesel
Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
Elie Wiesel
