"Our language, as it is well known, is divided into two main dialects, of which one is spoken in Bulgaria and Thrace, and the other one in Macedonia."

"To promote to the world the Macedonian dialect with all its general and local idioms, as much as we can, we intend to create a Grammar for it, in parallel with the other one; but since that intention may be delayed for a while, now we are describing here in short its main characteristics compared to the other dialect."

"Not only that the Macedonian dialect should not and cannot be excluded from the common standard language, but it would have been good if it was accepted as its main constituent; since it sounds fuller, smoother and stronger, and in many respects it is more complete and rich. The representatives of that dialect are the southwestern areas in Macedonia."

"The first and biggest difference between the two dialects is, in our opinion, is the difference in pronunciation or the stress. The Macedonian dialect usually prefers to place the stress in the beginning of the words, and the other one in the end, so in the first dialect you can’t find a word with a stress on the last syllable, while in the latter in most cases the stress is on the last syllable. Here Macedonian dialect is approaching the Serbian dialect."

"Времето е в нас и ние сме във времето; то нас обръща и ние него обръщаме."

"Трябва изпит за всеки. Защото има примери: Днес е човек, а утре — магаре."

"Call us not weeds, we are flowers of the Sea, For lovely and bright and gay tinted are we, And quite independent of sun's fire or showers- Then call us not weeds! We are ocean's bright flowers, Not nursed like the plants of a summer parterre, Where gales are but sighs of an evening air, Our exquisite, fragile and delicate forms Are nursed by the Ocean and rocked by the Storms."
