Elie Wiesel

"Historically, I come from Jewish history. I had the classic upbringing in the Yeshiva, learning, learning, and more learning."

"War is like night, she said. It covers everything."

"For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile."

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

"He explained to me with great insistence that every question posessed a power that did not lie in the answer."
