More quotes by Elie Wiesel
Paris: city of encounters, of furtive and painful discoveries. All isms converge there, including the anti-isms, all the revolutionaries too, including the counterrevolutionaries .
Elie Wiesel
'Indifference to evil is equal to evil' because it strengthens people.
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
There is a coalition of anti-Semitism today, the extreme left, the extreme right and in the middle the huge corpus of Islam. I'm worried, I go around with a very heavy heart.
Elie Wiesel
One thing is that [Tibetans] should not give up hope. That's - even [if] it lasts a century. My discussions with the Dalai Lama always were about that.
Elie Wiesel
One person of integrity can make a difference.
Elie Wiesel
You take a text, you explore it, you enter it with all your heart and all your mind.
Elie Wiesel
We are all teachers, or should be. Anyone who relays experience to another person is a teacher. Not to transmit your experience is to betray it.
Elie Wiesel
Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.
Elie Wiesel
I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it . . .
Elie Wiesel
Even if people tell me they have historical proof [that it is not historical], that doesn't really bother me.
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
Warmed-over loves and soups are generally not recommended.
Elie Wiesel
There are real people behind the [Bible] stories.
Elie Wiesel
I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.
Elie Wiesel
Take sides. Neutrality always serves the oppressor and never the oppressed.
Elie Wiesel
I would hesitate to give advice to the Dalai Lama and his people because they are suffering. The Dalai Lama suffered from exile and the people in Tibet suffer from oppression.
Elie Wiesel
We didn't really differ [with Frank Moore Cross] because we have the same love of the text. We share that love.
Elie Wiesel
The story [of the Sacrifice of Isaac ] is much more a part of theology than of history.
