The ArtsWe should always remember that the work of art is invariably the creation ofa new world, so that the first thing we should do is to study that new world asclosely as possible, approaching it as something brand new, having no

obviousconnection with the worlds we already know. Vladimir Nabokov

That is my major preoccupation,

memory, the kingdom of memory.

I want to protect and enrich that kingdom, glorify that kingdom

and serve it.

Elie Wiesel

Forgetting means the end of civilization, the end of culture, the end of generosity, the end

of compassion, the end of humanity.

And therefore I celebrate memory, and

I try to strengthen it.

Elie Wiesel
