Shalom safranim ve-safraniyot, I am looking for the original citation of Mokher Sforim's "breath with one nostril", referring to Jews choosing Hebrew or Yiddish as the national Jewish language. This quotation is mentioned in Shmuel Niger's "Bilingualism in the history of Jewish literature" (Lanham, Md.: University Press of America, c1990: 120) without a precise citation, and I can't find it. I've looked at Baron's A Treasury of Jewish Quotations (1956) and other quotation titles, and browsed the Leksikon fun der nayer Yidisher literatur under Mendele entry. Can anybody help?
