quoting wiesel

I loaded up at the local library today.

I continue to be intent on reading books with a focus on social injustice. The book I've just started is "Night" by Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and Nobel Peace Prize winner (1986).

I'm only 13 pages into it, and already certain sentences, certain paragraphs, demand my attention and thoughts before I'm allowed to move on the next.

I am not sure if this quote from Wiesel is from this book. If so, I have not yet seen it in the first 13 pages. It does, however also demand my attention. And my action.

"The opposite of love is not hate; it's indifference."
