Even worse when the quotes are misattributed, eg the "insanity" quote is Rita Mae Brown, and she was paraphrasing Narcotics Anonymous.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results."
[Rita Mae] Brown did include this quote in her book Sudden Death (Bantam Books, New York, 1983), p. 68, but it appears she was just paraphrasing a quote that had already been written elsewhere. The earliest known appearance of a similar quote is the "approval version" of the Narcotics Anonymous "Basic Text" released in November 1981, which included the quote "Insanity is repeating the same mistakes and expecting different results." A pdf scan of the 1981 approval version can be found here, with the quote appearing on p. 11 (p. 25 of the pdf), at the end of the fourth paragraph (which begins "We have a disease; progressive, incurable and fatal").

As some who co-founded quantum mechanics, Einstein would never have said such a stupid thing. You expect to get different results from doing the same measurement in the same quantum mechanical system, that's the basis of it.

#7What a terrible choice of my picture. I did it as a joke and now it gets used everywhere.

#10I'd add one more - take goddamn action. No matter how much imagination and how many resources you have, you'll get nothing done if you don't actually start doing something.
