Quotes by Elie Wiesel

The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference. The opposite of art is not ugliness, it's indifference. The opposite of faith is not heresy, it's indifference. And the opposite of life is not death, it's indifference.

Elie Wiesel

Elie Wiesel

Once you bring life into the world, you must protect it. We must protect it by changing the world.

Elie Wiesel

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

Elie Wiesel

Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings.

Elie Wiesel

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
