Elie Wiesel Quotes

"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.""No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.""Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant.""Whoever survives a test, whatever it may be, must tell the story. That is his duty""Mankind must remember that peace is not God's gift to his creatures; peace is our gift to each other""Friendship marks a life even more deeply than love""When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity""To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time""There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice but there must never be a time when we fail to protest"
