Just being a dik here but that quote is actually attributed to Albert Einstien.

MIS-attributed, apparently. I also thought that it was Einstein's, but didn't remember the exact wording and when I did a search, I came up with this kind of stuff:
Quote:
Who first said the definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect different results?
Answer
The answer isn't really known but current consensus is that it came from the author Rita Mae Brown in her book Sudden Death on Pg. 68 from 1983.
Quote: "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."
Most people will attribute this quote to Albert Einstein but there is no evidence to suggest that he made this statement.
This quote "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results" appears in the Basic Text of Narcotics Anonymous which was copyrighted in 1982 and later published in 1983. It is found on page 11 of the final "Review Form" which was distributed to the fellowship in November of 1981. It is found on page 23 of the current sixth edition.

So the general consensus is that the quote is not Einstein's, and the Narcotics Anonymous Quote from 1981 (found on Page 11 here) is worded slightly differently. Ergo my attribution to Rita Mae. :)Quote:
In her book The Ultimate Quotable Einstein, p. 474, Alice Calaprice list this aphorism among those misattributed to Einstein. She also cites Rita Mae Brown's book Sudden Death as the actual source, with thanks to Barbara Wolff. Wjh 01:19, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
It does appear in the 1983 Brown novel, on page 68 (according to Google Books).
