E veja só o que Tolstoi escreveu em 1886 no conto A Morte de Ivan Ilich:
In reality it was just what is usually seen in the houses of people of moderate means who want to appear rich, and therefore succeed only in resembling others like themselves: there are damasks, dark wood, plants, rugs, and dull and polished bronzes -- all the things people of a certain class have in order to resemble other people of that class. His house was so like the others that it would never have been noticed, but to him it all seemed to be quite exceptional.(em inglês como as pessoas de certa classe fazem para parecer com todas as pessoas de certa classe)
