I remembered a line about apologizing when you were correct, and tried
to Google it. I couldn't find a reference to the quote itself, but
found where someone had lifted it wholesale for their fanfic.
>...what do you do if you've had a fight with someone and they're
>incredibly wrong and you're right?'
>
>'Apologize immediately.'
>
>'What?'
>
>'If I care at all for them, at any rate. Particularly if recent
>cir***stances have proven me to be correct. Unless it's a
>life-or-death issue, what's the point in making a fuss over it? Of
>getting all righteous? All it does is make people less likely to
>listen to you.
>
>'Yes, but what do you do if you find out you were wrong?'
>
>'Same thing. Why change a tactic that works?'
>
>'But I can't do that! It'll make me look like a fool!'
>
>'So you're saying that it's not all right to apologize when you're
>wrong?'
I kind of see Cordelia Naismith delivering that line, but if it was
Bujold, I still can't remember which book it was.
Thanks for the help!
