"If Széchenyi's Valhalla had been accepted as the Academy, the first thing the enthusiastic nation would have done would have been to erect a statue of Ferdinand V., and today the Hall of Fame would be full of Habsburgs. And the political servants of the Habsburgs. From time to time, they would kick the statues out and throw them down like the pagan Hungarians did with Bishop Gellért."
