Additional quotes by Elie Wiesel

We were masters of nature, masters of the world. We had forgotten everything — death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die, condemned and wandering, mere numbers, we were the only men on earth.

"If the only prayer you say throughout your life is "Thank You," then that will be enough."

I have not lost faith in God. I have moments of anger and protest. Sometimes I've been closer to him for that reason.
