- 1942, Stefan Zweig, Die Welt von Gestern [The World of Yesterday]:
- Immer, wenn einer – Prophet oder Betrüger – in den zweitausend Jahren des Golus an diese Saite gerührt, war die ganze Seele des Volkes in Schwingung gekommen, nie aber so gewaltig wie diesmal, nie mit solchem brausenden, rauschenden Widerhall. Mit ein paar Dutzend Seiten hatte ein einzelner Mann [Theodor Herzl] eine verstreute, verzwistete Masse zur Einheit geformt.
