“L. L. Zamenhof, Speech given at the close of the Second Esperanto Congress in Geneva, 1906, in Franko Luin (editor), Paroladoj. Esperantisto sekve estas ne sole tiu persono, kiu uzas Esperanton sole kaj ekskluzive por celoj praktikaj; esperantisto ankaŭ estas persono, kiu uzas Esperanton, por gajni per ĝi monon; esperantisto estas persono, kiu uzas Esperanton nur por amuziĝadi; esperantisto fine estas eĉ tiu persono, kiu uzas Esperanton por celoj plej malbonaj kaj malamaj. It follows that an Esperantist is not only a person who uses Esperanto solely and exclusively for practical purposes; an Esperantist is also a person who uses Esperanto to earn money; an Esperantist is a person who uses Esperanto only for entertainment; finally, an Esperantist is even a person who uses Esperanto for the most evil and hateful purposes.”
“Henri Vallienne, Kastelo de Prelongo, Ĉapitro 11,”

When he found himself before the marquis, before the man who had insulted him through the arrogant letter sent to his son, I could not hold back the spark of hatred that shone in his eyes.
