The sins I regret the most ar...

The sins I regret the most are the one's I didn't commit.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

I believe a human being - if ...

I believe a human being - if he or she wants to remain human, then he or she must do something with what we have seen, endured, witnessed.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

If the Book of the Law could ...

If the Book of the Law could be forgotten for so many years, who knows what was done to it during those years? Maybe it was lost later, too. And another one replaced it, and that one is no longer the original text. These are questions that perturb me much more than whether it's history or not history.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Knowledge does not corrupt, u...

Knowledge does not corrupt, unless it is arrogant; but then it is not true knowledge.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

I would not like to draw anal...

I would not like to draw analogies, with the past.Governments, leaders, intellectuals, mainly intellectuals who should know the ethical dimensions, are so important, so essential to culture, religion, to civilization, and to our own lives. And that means what? It means not to be indifferent, not to stand idly by. That is a biblical commandment that we are committed.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

The Holocaust is the most doc...

The Holocaust is the most documented tragedy in recorded history. And therefore, later on, if there will be a later on, anyone wishing to know will know where to go for knowledge.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

In my little town, Sighet, which is in Romania, Hungary-Romania, but a real shtetl, a little [Jewish] village - and we began with the Chumash [Pentateuch], probably at age four.

I had to be honest with myself and that I felt hatred then, but as children say "I hate you", it's not really hate, you know, it's anger.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

The Holocaust is not a cheap soap opera. The Holocaust is not a romantic novel. It is something else.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

[Moses] Mendelssohn was a religious Jew. I felt sorry for him.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Worse still is that mankind -...

Worse still is that mankind - the non-Jewish world - learned nothing from the Holocaust: The event which had no precedent in history, which should be equal to the Revelation at Sinai in significance.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

What is man? Ally of God or s...

What is man? Ally of God or simply his toy? His triumph or his fall?

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

The criminal is not alone whe...

The criminal is not alone when he returns to the scene of the crime; he is joined there by his victim, and both are driven by the same curiosity: to relive that moment which stamped past and future for each.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

The night was gone. The morni...

The night was gone. The morning star was shining in the sky. I too had become a completely different person. The student of the Talmud, the child that I was, had been consumed in the flames. There remained only a shape that looked like me. A dark flame had entered into my soul and devoured it.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

I listen to music when I writ...

I listen to music when I write. I need the musical background. Classical music. I'm behind the times. I'm still with Baroque music, Gregorian chant, the requiems, and with the quartets of Beethoven and Brahms. That is what I need for the climate, for the surroundings, for the landscape: the music.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

The Pope going to Jerusalem, ...

The Pope going to Jerusalem, the Pope recognising the State of Islam, the Pope going to the wall organising a concert for the Holocaust in the Vatican, going to the synagogue in Vatican, and that happens in Protestant service as well. That doesn't mean that anti-Semitism disappear, but it is on certain level that Jews all the time, or with Christians, Catholics, Protestants, Jews, meeting all the time, studying together, signing petitions for all kinds of causes.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

If there is one person on the...

If there is one person on the planet who still is suffering from loneliness and from pain or despair, and we don't know about it, or we don't want to know about it, then something is wrong with the world.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Bread, soup - these were my w...

Bread, soup - these were my whole life. I was a body. Perhaps less than that even: a starved stomach. The stomach alone was aware of the passage of time.

Elie Wiesel 452 quotes

Nevertheless, we are led to b...

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.
