"Nigdje u svijetu nisam vidio dublju, neupitniju i prirodniju ljubav za poeziju, i kao literaturu i kao struju mašte, osjećaja i suosjećanja, nego ovdje u Makedoniji.”
"Nowhere in the world have I seen a deeper and more unquestioned and natural love for poetry, both as literature and as the current of imagination, feeling, and compassion within us than I have seen here in Macedonia.”
