Thanks for the pointers.
I always enjoy the alphabetical crosswords. For me to finish by the pm on Saturday I think it must count as one of the more straightforward inquisitors ( did need google for some of the more obscure definitions)

I've completed the grid and found the speaker but this stated preference of his is apparently so famous that I cannot find it anywhere on the internet or in quotation books. (I have read the earlier postings here.)

It would help if I could find the second letter to correct (I've already changed an E to an O.

Change the U orson (in line back from that E).

Thanks, drxx, but that gives me something ending "bell other" or "ball other". I'm sorry but I'm no wiser.

Orson, I didn't find a form of the quote where he said he 'preferred' something. In the quote I found he said "The bxxxxt is stronger than the bxxxxt."

Message from 4th July and other times. May well appear in quotation books.

I see now, thanks to all. It is actually a misquotation, which is why it doesn't appear under the speaker in reference books. Also, he stated what was necessary, not what he preferred.
