Before Jerusalem
Now they've come before Jerusalem.
Passions, avarice, and ambition,
as well as their chivalrous pride
have swiftly slipped from their souls.
Now they've come before Jerusalem.
In their ecstasy and their devoutness
they've forgotten their quarrels with the Greeks;
they've forgotten their hatred of the Turks.
Now they've come before Jerusalem.
And the Crusaders, so daring and invincible, so vehement in their every march and onslaught,
are fearful and nervous and are unable
to go further; they tremble like small children,
and like small children weep, all weep,
as they behold the walls of Jerusalem.”
― The Complete Poems

“Ένας άνθρωπος που γράφει βιβλία, ξεχωρίζει απ' τον άλλο κόσμο. Αυτή ήταν η γνώμη αυτουνού, του Γιούγκερμαν, που δεν διάβαζε ποτέ του τίποτα.”

“Ήταν πιο δύσκολο να είσαι η ωραιότερη στην Κυψέλη παρά η ωραιότερη στον κόσμο. Στην Κυψέλη σε έβλεπαν κάθε μέρα στο δρόμο, δεν σε ψήφιζαν βαμμένη, με μουσική από πίσω, ούτε σε γνώριζαν απ' τα περιοδικά, σε είχαν αγαπήσει χωρίς φωτογένεια.”
