RIP Elie Wiesel. Read his best quotes:

eliewiesel.jpgElie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor and Nobel Laureate, Died yesterday at 87. Here are his best quotes:

“They’ve been running Deer Hunter like crazy on Bravo. And here is the whole goddamned Congress singing ‘God Bless America’ on the steps of the US Capitol. I said, ‘Holy shit, this is the ending of the movie.'” (on The Deer Hunter (1978) in hindsight, post-9/11, London Independent on Sunday, July 2002)

I don’t make movies intellectually, I don’t make movies to make a point, I make movies to tell stories about people.

Films are home movies…
