Elie Wiesel Quotes

No one is as capable of gratitude as one who has emerged from the kingdom of night Picture Quote #1

If anything can, it is memory that will save humanity. For me, hope without memory is like memory without hope Picture Quote #1

Waking among the dead, one wondered if one was still alive. And yet real despair only seized us later. Afterwards. As we emerged from the nightmare and began to search for meaning Picture Quote #1

If someone had told us in 1945 that in our lifetime religious wars would rage on virtually every continent, that thousands of children would once again be dying of starvation, we would not have believed it.

Ultimately, the only power to which man should aspire is that which he exercises over himself Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Never shall I forget that night, the first night in [a concentration] camp, which has turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed....
