Philosophy Quote by Elie Wiesel — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

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

“Man comes closer to God through the questions he asks Him, he liked to say.”

“My faceless neighbor spoke up:”

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

“All my life, until today, I have been content to ask questions. All the while knowing that the real questions, those that concern the creator and his creation, have no answers. I'll go even farther and say that there is a level at which only the questions are eternal, the answers never are. And so, the patient that I am, more charitable, repeats: 'Since God is, He is to be found in the questions as well as in the answers.”

“War is like night, she said. It covers everything.”

“What”

“When we like something too much, a part of us wants to keep them forever in our 'wishlist' because we know that when wishes comes true, they lose their charm.”

“True love is like ghosts, which everybody talks about and few have seen.”

“✨ “Stories are more than words — they’re pieces of who we are.”

“We are the sum of all people we have ever met; you change the tribe and the tribe changes you.”

“They are now informing me that not only are they better than the powerful, the masters of the world whose spittle they have to lick (not from fear, not at all from fear! but because God orders them to honour those in authority) – not only are they better, but they have a “better time”, or at least will have a better time one day. But enough! enough! I can’t bear it any longer. Bad air! Bad air! This workshop where ideals are fabricated – it seems to me just to stink of lies.”
