Till exempel kunde man skriva saker om himlen att...
"Thither go those old priests and those old cripples and deformed men, who crouch all day and all night before the altars and in the old crypts, and those with old, shabby cloaks and old, ragged garments; thither go the naked, the barefooted, the trouserless, those who are perishing of hunger and thirst and cold and disease. These are the folk who enter Paradise; with such I have nothing in common. But into Hell I shall go gladly; for into Hell go the goodly clerics and the brave knights that died in the tourneys and the glorious wars, and the worthy captains and the dauntless men. With these I wish to go. And thither go the fair gracious ladies, who have lovers, two or three, besides their lords, and thither go the gold and the silver and the costly furs, and thither go the harpers and the jongleurs and the kings of this world. With these I wish to go, if only I may have Nicolete, my dear lady, with me." (Gautier)
Jag vill minnas att Machiavelli, som visserligen ligger några hundra år senare i tiden, uttryckte liknande åsikter i sina sista ord.
