It is part of the price that may have to be given by the aspirant to separate himself from friends who are constantly critical of his quest, social groups that are time-wasting hindrances to it, or relatives who are virulently antagonistic to it.

Sometimes he will be better advised to bear sneers in patience and bear mockery of clacking tongues in resignation.
