“Has he all that the world loves and admires and covets?—he must cast behind him their admiration, and afflict them by faithfulness to his truth, and become a byword and a hissing.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He cast off his friends as a huntsman his pack,
For he knew when he pleas’d he could whistle them back.”
