Book cover for The Book of Joan
I don’t care which careful slice of history you choose to cling to, there is no part of being human that does not include the death spectacle: the resort to killing, through war or “justice” or revenge.

Elie Wiesel
“The silence of two people is deeper than the silence of one. Involuntarily”
Elie Wiesel, Dawn

Elie Wiesel
“How are we ever to disarm evil and abolish death as a means to an end? How are we ever to break the cycle of violence and rage? Can terror coexist with justice? Does murder call for murder, despair for revenge? Can hate engender anything but hate?”
Elie Wiesel, Dawn

Elie Wiesel
“You mustn’t be afraid of the dark,” he said, gently grasping my arm and making me shudder. “Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking and loving and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes on a new and deeper meaning. The tragedy of man is that he doesn’t know how to distinguish between day and night. He says things at night that should only be said by day.”
Elie Wiesel, Dawn

Elie Wiesel
“The absolute quality of hate explains any human action even if it throws something inhuman around it.”
Elie Wiesel, Dawn

Diane Ackerman
“Antonina woke in the night to help midwife an animal like a giraffe (always tricky because the mother gives birth standing up, the calf falls headfirst, and the mother doesn't want help anyway).”
Diane Ackerman, The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
