The Teutonic Knights Quotes

“Poland! Poland! The very name carries with it sighings and groanings, nation-murder, brilliance, beauty, patriotism, splendors, self-sacrifice through generations of gallant men and exquisite women; indomitable endurance of bands of noble people carrying through world-wide exile the sacred fire of wrath against the oppressor, and uttering in every clime a cry of appeal to Humanity to rescue Poland.”
― Henryk Sienkiewicz, The Knights of the Cross

“A potem, wyciągnąwszy swój różowy paluszek, dotknęła nim białej jedwabnej jaki Zbyszkowej i cofając go natychmiast zapytała: — A jutro też będzie mój?”
― Henryk Sienkiewicz, Krzyżacy
