I didn't know George Steiner said that. But a Brazilian journalist
said, about an interview he made with some (I don't remember which)
south-american dictator (not Brazilian) that he was a very kind person
and a very loved grandfather.

and just after, cry tears with an impromptu of Schubert or find the Nirvana
with his Ave Maria.
