“I have travelled through many lands, yet Nógrád remains the dearest to me, with its mountains, valleys and tall, straight trees. Here, the grass seems greener and the flowers smell sweeter than anywhere else in the world. Even the clouds appear to turn pink as they drift above us. This is my true homeland.”
— Kálmán Mikszáth, a native of Nógrád
