More quotes by 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
did everything I could in my life to be immune to hatred, because hatred is a cancer.
Elie Wiesel
I belong to a tradition that believes that the death of a single child is a blemish on creation.
Elie Wiesel
Indifference is the sign of sickness, a sickness of the soul more contagious than any other.
Elie Wiesel
I have absolutely no problem with the young Germans. I even feel sorry for the young Germans because to be maybe sons or daughters of killers is different than them to be sons and daughters of the victims. And I felt sorry for them. I still do.
Elie Wiesel
When I have my manuscript finished, more or less, I type it myself, with two fingers. I type fast with two fingers. And then when it's ready, I reread, recorrect, and retype it. Everything is my own work. I do not give it to secretaries or to typists.
Elie Wiesel
That is my major preoccupation, memory, the kingdom of memory. I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom and serve it.
Elie Wiesel
We know, for instance, of The Book of the Wars of the Lord. It is mentioned in the text [Numbers 21:14]. There was a book: Where is it? One day you will dig and you will maybe find it. [Laughter]
Elie Wiesel
All I hope is that the American coalition is doing its best to prevent civilian casualties and the killing of innocent people.
Elie Wiesel
Music does not replace words, it gives tone to the words
Elie Wiesel
When you listen to a witness, you become a witness.
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
It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my parents were alive, and God still dwelt in our town.
Elie Wiesel
In those dark times, one rose to the very heights of humanity by simply remaining human.
Elie Wiesel
Warmed-over loves and soups are generally not recommended.
Elie Wiesel
I'd rather speak as a student of philosophy. Philosophically it makes no sense, absolutely makes no sense. Why should people inherit evil things when their memories could contain and should invoke good things?
Elie Wiesel
The Jewish tradition of learning-is learning. Adam chose knowledge instead of immortality.
Elie Wiesel
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
Elie Wiesel
The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.
Elie Wiesel
There is one right I would not grant anyone. And that is the right to be indifferent.
Elie Wiesel
