The opposite of love is not hate, it's indifference.
From Elie Wiesel
Without memory, there is no culture. Without memory, there would be no civilization, no society, no future.
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.
I was very, very religious. And of course I wrote about it in 'Night.' I questioned God's silence. So I questioned. I don't have an answer for that. Does it mean that I stopped having faith? No. I have faith, but I question it.
Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil.
When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.
I would like to see real peace and a state of Israel living peacefully alongside a state of Palestine.
Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.
I will say, with memoir, you must be honest. You must be truthful.
