More quotes by Elie Wiesel
How can a human being be illegal?
Elie Wiesel
Always remember, my good friends, that there is one sin we must never commit and it is to humiliate another person or to allow another person to be humiliated in our presence without us screaming and shouting and protesting.
Elie Wiesel
One person of integrity can make a difference.
Elie Wiesel
If you read Exodus 15 carefully, it describes a storm at sea. This is the old Yahwistic source. In the retelling of the story in the later Priestly source, it is more miraculous: The water stands up on either side like a wall. There are walls of water standing up. As you move back in time, oddly enough, the story becomes more historical.
Elie Wiesel
Human beings all change. Not what they are but who they are. We have the power to change what we do with our life and turn it into our destiny.
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
What hurts the victim most is not the cruelty of the oppressor, but the silence of the bystander.
Elie Wiesel
My God was never happiness, but to understand and be understood.
Elie Wiesel
I have one request: may I never use my reason against truth.
Elie Wiesel
People become the stories they hear and the stories they tell.
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
The deeper the nostalgia and the more complete the fear, the purer, the richer the word and the secret.
Elie Wiesel
You cross a border and the policeman or the frontier policeman look at you, What are you doing here? Why are you coming? How long will you stay? Well, if I had nearly enough years, I would write a novel about being a refugee.
Elie Wiesel
My anger rises up within faith and not outside it.
Elie Wiesel
A man can laugh while he suffers.
Elie Wiesel
I think that human beings are capable of the worst things possible.
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
I'll tell you what: I believe mysticism is a very serious endeavor. One must be equipped for it.
Elie Wiesel
Man walks the moon but his soul remains riveted to earth. Once upon a time it was the opposite.
Elie Wiesel
I'm not a military man. I wish I were, then maybe I could give some advice.
Elie Wiesel
