I would say to [Chinese government], You don't need Tibet really. You don't need all the problems Tibet creates for you. It's so small, so far away. Give them their religious freedom and I know that they wouldn't misuse it.

Elie Wiesel
Moses was the greatest legislator and the commander in chief of perhaps the first liberation army.
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
A man who is fighting for the future of mankind is not waiting for torture, he's waiting for -- the Revolution.
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
It always hurts when you lose a secret.
Elie Wiesel
