Today is the birthday of Eliezer "Elie" Wiesel (born September 30, 1928), writer, professor, and political activist. He is the author of 57 books, the best known of which is Night and is the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986."When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude." - Elie Wiesel
"There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. The Talmud tells us that by saving a single human being, man can save the world." - Elie Wiesel
"What does mysticism really mean? It means the way to attain knowledge. It's close to philosophy, except in philosophy you go horizontally while in mysticism you go vertically." - Elie Wiesel
"Indifference, to me, is the epitome of evil." - Elie Wiesel
