I have a reputation for being a disturber of the peace. You have to take me as I am. If I’m a disturber of the peace, it’s for good reason. And, ladies and gentlemen, if someone wakes up a sleeping man so as to make him watch out, then the man who shakes him is no disturber of the peace. I wish to cry out, wake up! Watch out for the years to come.
—Konrad Adenauer, first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany (taken from here)
