Quote of the Day - Russell on Keynes

"Keynes's intellect was the sharpest and clearest that I have ever known. When I argued with him, I felt that I took my life in my hands, and I seldom emerged without feeling something of a fool. I was sometimes inclined to feel that so much cleverness must be incompatible with depth, but I do not think that this feeling was justified."


Bertrand Russell, in Autobiography Ch. 3 : Cambridge, p. 69
