What would the future of man ...

What would the future of man be if it were devoid of memory?

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

We must choose between the vi...

We must choose between the violence of adults and the smiles of children. Between the ugliness of hate and the will to oppose it. Between inflicting suffering and humiliation on our fellow man and offering him the solidarity and hope he deserves.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

I think this century more tha...

I think this century more than any other really has seen the phenomenon of people being uprooted in such numbers, such a degree. They even have a word for it: The refugees. It's a new word, a 20th Century word, but refugee is actually a misnomer.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Memory feeds a culture, nourishes hope and makes a human, human.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

I believe in books. And when ...

I believe in books. And when our people [coughing] - our people of Jerusalem, let's say after the Romans destroyed the temple and the city, all we took is a little book, that's all. Not treasures, we had no treasures. They were ransacked, taken away. But the book - the little book - and this book produced more books, thousands, hundreds of thousands of books, and in the book we found our memory, and our attachment to that memory is what kept us alive.

My faith is a wounded faith, but it's not without faith. My life is not without faith.

The most important question a human being has to face... What is it? The question, Why are we here?

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

When has religion ever been unifying? Religion has introduced many wars in this world, enough bloodshed and violence.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Better that one heart be brok...

Better that one heart be broken a thousand times in the retelling, he has decided, if it means that a thousand other hearts need not be broken at all.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

We must not see any person as...

We must not see any person as an abstraction. Instead, we must see in every person a universe with its own secrets, with its own treasures, with its own sources of anguish, and with some measure of triumph.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

You know, words have strange destiny, too. They grow. They get old. They die. They come back.

Gratitude is a word that I cherish. Gratitude is what defines the happiness and humanity of the human being.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Whatever you think in life......

Whatever you think in life... think higher and feel deeper.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

What is being lost is the magic of the word. I am not an image person. Imagery belongs to another civilization: the caveman. Caveman couldn't express himself so he put images on walls.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Listen to me, kid. Don't forg...

Listen to me, kid. Don't forget that you are in a concentration camp. In this place, it is every many for himself, and you cannot think of others. Not even you father. In this place, there is no such thing as father, brother, friend. Each of us lives and dies alone. Let me give you good advice: stop giving your ration of bread and soup to your old father. You cannot help him anymore. And you are hurting yourself. In fact, you should be getting his rations.

Writing is like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate, in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain

Of course, afterward, I studied [commentary on the Bible by a Rabbi Moshe Dessauer] more closely. But, in truth, it doesn't touch me. It doesn't change my attitude toward the text.

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 452 quotes

If enough people are sensitive to the tragedy of Tibet, I think it will produce a change politically as well. But furthermore, it's important for the people in Tibet. Now communication is such [that] people know what is happening. Even Tibetan people would know that the Interfaith or the international group of religious people - that everybody who is religious is taking up their cause. It would help them a lot if we give them courage, and that in itself is enough.

This day I ceased to plead. I was no longer capable of lamentation. On the contrary, I felt very strong. I was the accuser, God the accused.
