A disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. “Rabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?” And the master of the good name said, “When you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake.

Elie Wiesel
Next to him lay his violin, trampled, an eerily poignant little corpse.
Elie Wiesel
Weapons means killing. Weapons is ah, I'm simply sensitive to the word.
Elie Wiesel
Nevertheless, we are led to believe that true words can communicate more than truth, they communicate what life is all about, that it's threatened, when it's threatened, when it's in danger, then it becomes a curse or a blessing.
Elie Wiesel
A voice behind me asked, Where is God? Where is He? Where can He be now? and a voice within me answered: Where? Here He is - He has been hanged here, on these gallows.
Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel
