During his interview, when Shenton inveighed against 2-S on the grounds that it is "lunatic" to exempt a man while educating him only to jeopardize him afterwards, he prefixed his remark with, "As a private individual, I think...
...again, in a moment of exasperation, one of Lyndon Johnson's aides used to remark that the President was "more." No matter what he did, said the aide, the President would do it "more" than anybody else. When he was angry, everyone in the White House knew it.

Once, while the royal limousine was inching along a torn-up street in Stockholm, she asked him: "Gusti, have you been busy here lately?" But she was equally proud of his accomplishments, used to remark: "I didn't marry a King. I married a professor." And very like a professor the King still acts, always carrying a pocket magnifying glass and often remarking that if Sweden ever got rid of his crown, he could always go to work in a museum...
