"The Albanians/Arnautlar, these tigers of mountain wars ... have as their religion rebellion. Even their worst warrior is one of the strongest and bravest on the battle-field, just as if he was a knight on the legendary horse. But he has no horse, nor proper weapons for battle. Instead of the horse, he has a lance which strikes as lightning, he has spears who's points are full of posion as the sting of hornets, he has also a wooden bow with some arrows. Furthermore, he is stronger than iron ... "
- Ibn Kemal, Historian of the Turkish court

"The story of the Albanians deserves a study in itself.
Attracted by the 'sword, the gold trappings, and the honours',
...arrogant, imperious, always ready for a fight."
- Nicholas Pappas
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The Albanians have been born to resist and disobey."
- Dursam Bey, during the second siege of Kruja
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"They are Nietzsche's over-men, these primitive Albanians — something between kings and tigers."
-Henry Noel Brailsford
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...isn't the Albanian, who, being a slave, did not allow enslavement, freedom-loving? This is a question that could hardly be understood by anyone who has not lived in Albania. The most liberty-loving people in the Balkans is the Albanian people. The Albanian, taken alone, as an individual, is an anarchist by nature. He would brook no bondage let alone on his people, he would not let anything, seen as possibly humiliating, befall his house. The Albanian house stands alone and apart from the rest..."

[ILIRI I MADH]

SCANDERBEG.

"Oh! how comely it is, and how reviving
To the spirits of just men long oppressed,
When God into the hands of their deliverer
Puts invincible might
To quell the mighty of the earth, th' oppressor,
The brute and boist'rous force of violent men,
Hardy and industrious to support
Tyrannic power, but raging to pursue
The righteous and all such as honor Truth."
-Samson Agonistes

Shqiptaret konsideroheshin si te pashitshem ne tregjet e sklleverve per shkak te ndjenjes se forte te nderit dhe nevojes per hakmarrje. ( Pasha Sulejman i ndrituri)

Keta mund te jene vetem ushtar por asnjehere mos i lere afer ushqimit tend, dhe mos ju kerko me force ta gjunjezohen para teje nqs. s'ke ndermend tu presesh koken. ( pasha Sulejman)
