What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically.
Elie Wiesel

Peace is our gift to each other.
Elie Wiesel

Some stories are true that never happened.
Elie Wiesel

I write to understand as much as to be understood.
Elie Wiesel

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Elie Wiesel

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

A destruction, an annihilation that only man can provoke, only man can prevent.
Elie Wiesel
