"All the earth and the Universe are God's!" (Wiesel 74).
To the people at the concentration camps they thought that god was made up of the whol earth and the whole universe. Also they were saying that the earth and universe belonged to god in a sense. It is saying that all the Jews that are in a concentration camp right now belong to god and he will not let them die and he will help them escape alive.
"I was dragging with me this skeletal body which weighed so much. If only I could've got rid of it!" (Wiesel 91).
Elie had been walking for a long time to try to survive and he had felt like he was dragging something really heavy behind him but he wasn't. It was just the strain and the stress on his legs that made him feel like that. He wanted to get rid of it by just quit walking and lay down so the others could trample over his body in agony and pain.

I think you did a really good job at analyzing the quotes. Especially, the second one.
Good analysis, but they don't really explain anything about the characters. I do like the quotes you picked though, good job. :D
