Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future. – Elie Wiesel
I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in Night. I questioned Gods silence. So I questioned. I dont have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it. – Elie Wiesel
It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed. – Elie Wiesel
I believe that all the survivors are mad. One time or another their madness will explode. You cannot absorb that much madness and not be influenced by it. That is why the children of survivors are so tragic. I see them in school. They dont know how – Elie Wiesel
