"The Gueghes are thickset and muscular, the Toskes slender and agile, both strong, vigorous, and perhaps the finest race in Europe."
"The characteristics common to both people are love of independence, love of war, a revengual spirit, mering into ferocity."
"They are wild, plundering, indefatigable soldiers, selling their services and their blood to those who pay them highest; but lively, gay, adventurous, sober, generous and heroic so soon as it concerns the defence of their country, their tribe, or their family."
"They are an iron race, as hard as the rocks they inhabit."

-Lord Byron about Albanians.

Awaken, Albanians, wake from your slumber. Let us all, as brothers, swear an oath, not to mind church or mosque.The Religion of the Albanians is Albanianism.

Pashko Vasa, O moj Shqypni, ca. 1878, translated from the Albanian by Robert Elsie.

There is a spirit of independence and a love of their country, in the whole people, that, in a great measure, does away the vast distinction, observable in other parts of Turkey, between the followers of the two religions. For when the natives of other provinces, upon being asked who they are, will say, "we are Turks"(meaning muslim) or, "we are christians", a man of this country answers, " I am an Albanian"

J. C. Hobhouse Brughton, A Journey Through Albania 1809-1810, page 131

Moslem's although are not very strict about their religion, and have a tolerance for the Christians, as the Christians have for them, that is not found elsewhere-certainly not in the Near East. One will find the Christians using a prayer rug, and Moslem's observing Roman Catholic feast days. But the Albanian is first of all an Albanian and no religion interferes with his own standard of right and wrong.

Lands and Peoples: "The World in Color" Greece-Albania-Balkans, 1940, page 53.
