Pál Szende (1879-1934)

"A street is named after Pál Szende in Budapest, it is an exclusive street with heavy traffic in the inner city; however, there are no more than some dozens of old people who know his name and who he was actually."  Zoltán Horváth (1968)

"He was walking in the streets of the town with pleasure, usually with lot of children around him. He had a nice word, pleasantry for everyone. He was a man with great heart; there always were youngsters around him in Wien and Prague"  Oszkár Jászi (1934)

„… I greatly appreciated him even before the war, for his philosophical and sociological works. This appreciation grew when I got acquainted with him in emigration after war. I realized that he was not only a bright man with great knowledge, but a smart politician as well, and - what is more important - he was  straightforward who did not waver and did not go overboard at all, either."  Karl Kautsky (1934)

"I think the political activity, scientific (mainly sociological) thoughts and philosophical ideas of Pál Szende are worthy of  processing and going further with them."  János Gyurgyák (1985)
