Spaniards can be impressed by the courtesy of his conqueror, French by his riches, Greeks by his respect for the arts, Jews by his moral integrity, Africans by his calms and authoritative bearing, but the Germans are impressed by none of these things. They must be struck to the dust, struck down again as they rise. Struck again while he lies groaning, while his wounds still pain him, he will respect the hand that dealt them.
– Germanicus Caesar, quoted by Georgia Eddy in a letter to the New York Times
