Elie Wiesel Despair Quotations

He wants to see whether we are capable of overcoming out base instincts, of killing the Satan within ourselves. We have no right to despair. And if he punishes us mercilessly, it is a sign that He loves us that much more ...

We have to go into the despair and go beyond it, by working and doing for somebody else, by using it for something else.

Look, if I were alone in the world, I would have the right to choose despair, solitude and self-fulfillment. But I am not alone.

Because I remember, I despair. Because I remember, I have the duty to reject despair.
