That I survived the Holocaust and went on to love beautiful... - Elie Wiesel

"Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must — at that moment — become the center of the universe."

"Just as despair can come to one only from other human beings, hope, too, can be given to one only by other human beings."

"Hope is like peace. It is not a gift from God. It is a gift only we can give one another."

"A disciple came to the celebrated Master of the Good Name with a question. “Rabbi, how are we to distinguish between a true master and a fake?” And the master of the good name said, “When you meet a person who poses as a master, ask him a question: whether he knows how to purify your thoughts. If he says that he knows, then he is a fake."

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