Elie Wiesel quote: "Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his..."
Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other. Elie Wiesel
Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories. Elie Wiesel
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
Elie Wiesel quote: "It was the beginning of the war. I was twelve years old, my..."
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
Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe. Elie Wiesel
With the years and convulsions of history, the word-as reductionist as the dictionary itself-has undergone absurd metamorphoses. In some countries, they prefer the word "destabilization." Poor" countries no longer exist, just "disadvantaged" or "underprivileged" ones. We say "brainwashing" instead of "propaganda." And now we refer to revolutions in fashion, music and electronics, where ink flows but not blood. The point is profit, not truth Elie Wiesel
What all these victims need above all is to know that they are not alone; that we are not forgetting them, that when their voices are stifled we shall lend them ours, that while their freedome depends on ours, the quality of our freedom depends on theirs. Elie Wiesel
There is no discussing theology, sociology and politics when someone is under the spell of a self-enclosed totalitarian ideology. Intentionally or out of ignorance, Ahmed, who is empirical in all matters, detests pointless and laborious philosophical imaginings, never-ending discussions, or clashes of ideas that might be respectful of non-believer opponents and sinners deserving only of complete contempt. Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel quote: "I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of..."
I am much more afraid of my good deeds that please me than of my bad deeds that repel me. Elie Wiesel
Look, if I were alone in the world, I would have the right to choose despair, solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone. Elie Wiesel
Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history. Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel quote: "Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there..."
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future. Elie Wiesel
Remember also that it is not knowledge but the yearning for knowledge that makes for a complete, accomplished man. Such a man does not stand still but perseveres in the face of adversity, nor does he remain untouched by the pain cause by absence. On the contrary, he recognizes himself in each cry, uttered or repressed, in the smallest rift, in the most pressing need. Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel quote: "I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some..."
I feel that books, just like people, have a destiny. Some invite sorrow, others joy, some both. Elie Wiesel
Elie Wiesel quote: "Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what..."
Write only if you cannot live without writing. Write only what you alone can write. Elie Wiesel
