Reflecting back on this time, he stated: "I never had as much time at my disposal, as much freedom of spirit, as much joy of learning from those great figures of mankind ... than back then, in that summer of 1890".
Sećajući se prošlosti, rekao je: "Nisam nikad imao toliko vremena na raspolaganju, toliko slobode duha, toliko radosti da učim od velikih figura čovečanstva, kao tada u leto 1890. godine".
