The Story of My Life by Helen Keller: “Before the end of the first year I read "Wilhelm Tell" with the greatest delight.”
Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann: “The performance was Schiller’s Wilhelm Tell; and the rôle of Tell’s son Walter was played by a young lady”
Sartor Resartus by Thomas Carlyle: “It was then that, independently of Schiller's Wilhelm Tell, I made this not quite insignificant reflection (so true also in spiritual things): Any road, this simple Entepfuhl road, will lead you to the end of the World!”
Onna Keizu by Izumi Kyōka: “"If I studied as hard as I could, how many years would it take before I could read something like Goethe's famous Faust, or Schiller's Wilhelm Tell... was that the name?" "You'll soon be able to read them," he said, taking the reader from her. "Or at least to my level, with that proviso." [auto-translated]”
