Elie Wiesel, New York, 1969 -by Philippe Halsman [+]
Notwithstanding my doubts about language, and perhaps because of them, I plunge deeper and deeper into the whirlwind of the words I try to capture and tame. I cling to the notion that in the beginning there was the word; and that the word is the story of man; and that man is the story of God. If praying is an act of faith in God, then writing is a token of trust in man.
—Elie Wiesel, in ‘And the sea is never full: Memoirs II 1969- ” (Knopf, 1999)
