Mr. Wiesel, the author of “Night,” seared the memory of the Holocaust on the world’s conscience.

May Elie Weisel now rest in peace, and may we all learn from his example.
	"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
