Elie Wiesel Meaning Quotations

Our obligation is to give meaning to life and in doing so to overcome the passive, indifferent life.

Life belongs to man, but the meaning of life is beyond him.

This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century -- solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanizing meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others.
