He is apparently chosen by the government, but the qualities he is required to display are not those of leadership but those of finely judged outrage. For this reason the President is always a controversial choice, always an infuriating but fascinating character. His job is not to wield power but to draw attention away from it.

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy

― Jim Henson

― Alfred Lord Tennyson, Alfred, Lord Tennyson

― Mark Twain
