Elie Wiesel

I do not recall a Jewish home without a book on the table.

I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.

No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.

Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another.

After all, God is God because he remembers.

Human beings should be held accountable. Leave God alone. He has enough problems.

Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love. Love risks degenerating into obsession, friendship is never anything but sharing.

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
