Elie Wiesel

“I've given my life to the principle and the ideal of memory, and remembrance.”

“I have to be self-conscious of what I'm trying to do with my life.”

“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.”

“We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.”

“I believe in superstitions. You don't talk about a child who hasn't been born.”

“There are victories of the soul and spirit. Sometimes, even if you lose, you win.”
