There is not anti-semitism as an ideology. The civilized world must think that anti-semitism is stupid.
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.
Elie WieselThe sky is so close to the sea that it is difficult to tell which is reflected in the other, which one needs the other, which one is dominating the other.
Elie WieselThere are moments when I think it will never end, that it will last indefinitely. It's like the rain. Here the rain, like everything else, suggests permanence and eternity. I say to myself: it's raining today and it's going to rain tomorrow and the next day, the next week and the next century.
