"Pride would refuse to set foot in paradise, if she thought there'd be no under-privileged classes there to gloat over and order about - nobody whose misery could serve as a foil to her own happiness, or whose poverty she could make harder to bear, by flaunting her own riches. Pride, like a hellish serpent gliding through human hearts - or, shall we say, like a sucking-fish that clings to the ship of state? - is always dragging us back, and obstructing our progress toward a better way of life."
- Raphael in Thomas More's Utopia
