1927, Edmond Privat, Historio de la lingvo esperanto:
Antaŭvidante nur mokojn kaj persekutojn, mi decidis kaŝi antaŭ ĉiuj mian laboron.
Expecting only ridicule and persecution, I decided to conceal from everyone my work.
2007, Jorge Camacho, Beletra Almanako 1 (BA1 - Literaturo en Esperanto), Mondial, →ISBN, page 169:
Svarmas la kritikoj kaj la mokoj al la supozata strangeco de la esperantistoj, eĉ, kio estas des pli surpriza, fare de la esperantistoj mem.
The criticisms and the mockeries swarm towards the presumed strangeness of the esperantists, even, as is all the more surprising, from the esperantists themselves.
1982, Peter G. Forster, The Esperanto Movement, Walter de Gruyter, →ISBN, page 381:
Kaj nin ne timigas la noktaj fantomoj / Nek batoj de l'sorto, nek mokoj de l'homoj / Ĉar klara kaj rekta kaj tre difinita / Ĝi estas, la voj' elektita.
And we are not frightened by the nocturnal phantoms / Nor the beatings of fate, nor the mockery of humans / For clear, straight and well-defined / Is the chosen route.
