“If gifted, a scholar, they’re from Łomża; a renowned composer, they’re from Łomża. A distinguished director, professor, or rector, they’re from Łomża, without a doubt! We don’t rely on miracles, we from Łomża, nor do we shy away from challenges, we from Łomża. For we are from Łomża, and Łomża is a pearl among cities, The most beautiful little star among the stars.” — Hanka Bielicka
