1965, Kálmán Kalocsay, transl., La tragedio de l'homo, Imre Madách:
Mi ne kondamnas tiun ĉi poltronan popolon, ĝi ne estas kulpa, ĝia naturo estas, ke ĝin la mizero brulstampu sklavo.
I don't condemn this cowardly people, they are not to blame, their nature is to be branded a slave by misery.
1999, William Auld, interviewed by Aleksander Korĵenkov in La Ondo de Esperanto:

Additionally, pseudonymity in certain circumstances is tolerable (for example in Zamenhof's case) — but when an author hides behind a pseudonym to save themselves from just reproaches and potential reactions, that sort of anonymity is low and cowardly.
