– George of the Apes was extremely knowledgeable, extremely well read, and a politician of a type there are too few of in the day, ” says the former head of the Commission Professional Committees, Per Edgar Kokkvold:

I knew him not only through the work of presseetiske cases, but he is also as a friend. He is one of the most public people in the country I have had the most respect for. When I think of him, I come in the little verse, a gruk, by Danish Piet Hein: “Little cat, little cat, little cat on the road: If you, if you are? – I are sgu my own”. He did not compromise with anything, and was a type of politician we have too few of today. Who are not so careful with partilinjene, but stands on his own opinion. Not all politicians can be so, but today we have too few of them. George of the Apes was extremely well read, extremely knowledgeable, and came into politics with a large hinterland, not as a politikertype who climb their career inside the partisystemet, said Kokkvold
