Quotes by Adam Zamoyski (?)

“The democratic and civic instinct in that part of Europe today is largely the product of the two decades of freedom secured by Piłsudski and his armies on the Vistula in 1920.”
― Adam Zamoyski, Warsaw 1920: Lenin’s Failed Conquest of Europe

tags: 1920, battle-of-warsaw, pilsudski

“It would be idle to propose that the arrangements made in 1815 caused the terrible cataclysms of the twentieth century. But anyone who attempted to argue that what happened in Russia after 1917, in Italy and Germany in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, and in many other parts of central and southern Europe at various other moments of the last century had no connection with them would be exposing themselves to ridicule.”
― Adam Zamoyski, Rites of Peace: The Fall of Napoleon and the Congress of Vienna

“Duke Leszek the White explained in a long letter to the Pope that neither he nor any self-respecting Polish knight could be induced to go to the Holy Land, where, they had been informed, there was no wine, mead, or even beer to be had.”
