For the purpose of my life, I don't ask the question. First of all, I believe. I think the Five Books of Moses are inspired. Call it divine. I don't know. But I would certainly call it inspired.
Elie WieselI wanted to come back to Sighet to tell you the story of my death. So that you could prepare yourselves while there was still time. To live? I don't attach any importance to my life any more. I'm alone. No, I wanted to come back, and to warn you. And see how it is, no one will listen to me.
Elie WieselMy loyalty to my people, to our people, and to Israel comes first and prevents me from saying anything critical of Israel outside Israelโฆ As a Jew I see my role as a melitz yosher, a defender of Israel: I defend even her mistakesโฆ I must identify with whatever Israel does โ even with her errors.
