"There is no one to embrace the Rhodopes at a glance. There is no peak to climb to recognize it at a glance. You have to walk it and suffer it, and then gather it in your heart and look at it - but you have to have the heart of an eagle. You can't see Rhodope with your eyes, you must see it with your heart. With my eyes closed, inside. ”
Anton Donchev - "Time apart"
"I love you, my dear fatherland!" I love your Balkans, forests, screes, rocks and their clear and cold springs! I love you, my dear end! I love you with all my soul and heart, even if you are doomed to severe suffering and trouble! Everything that is left in my orphaned soul, good and holy - everything is yours! ”
Lyuben Karavelov
"We do not know how to appreciate him and we are not passionately attached to our beautiful nature. Why? - Because we do not know it, because the picturesque nature is not studied either in cafes or pubs. In pubs and cafes, among the stifling smoke, under the influence of narcotic and alcoholic drinks and angry newspapers, you will constantly sigh like a grandmother, to defile beautiful Bulgaria with the stereotypical phrases: "It was a Bulgarian job", "Bulgarian savages, don't you know them?" "," Bulgaria-savagery "… And neither Bulgaria nor the Bulgarians are wild at all, and we are wild and simpletons who know only to blaspheme to show that we have seen a lot and know a lot„ "
Aleko Konstantinov
“The Old Bulgarian language has become the cultural language of all Orthodox Slavs. It was the first state literary language in Medieval Europe long before the emergence of European literary languages - German, French, Italian, English, Russian.
Prof. Dr. Otto Kronsteiner
"The Bulgarians were the people who contributed the most to the organization and shaping of the civilization of the whole of Eastern Europe. The Proto-Bulgarians organized the Bulgarian-Slavic tribes into a nation in which the Bulgarian spirit and culture remained a leaven for eternity ”.
Prof. Geza Feher
