John Maynard Keynes
“Practical men, who believe themselves to be quite exempt from any intellectual influence, are usually the slaves of some defunct economist.”
“Ideas shape the course of history.”
“Words ought to be a little wild, for they are the assaults of thoughts on the unthinking.”
“The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.”
“When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do, sir?”
“In the long run we are all dead.”
