This quotation is different from the "change my mind" quotation, but the
spirit is very close.
>From Toye, John. Keynes on Population (Oxford: Oxford University Press).
208: Keynes, notes for a speech given to the Fabian Society on 2 February
1940
"I am a highly teachable person. I learn from criticism and before now
have laid myself open to the reproof that my second thoughts are often
better than my first thoughts -- which is an indication, some people think,
of a dangerous instability of character." "Well it has happened again. I
have played a low trick on my critics. I have improved my plan and have
thus slipt out of their net." (HP/2/88-99)
Michael Perelman
