Quoteworthy Quotes

[Karl12]

Speaking of 'fake' quotes, probably the one I see most frequently is...

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result."

- Incorrectly attributed to Albert Einstein

Einstein never said this, and the phrase didn't even show up until the early 80's (long after his death).

Yes good call on that one and have always found 'quoteinvestigator' (amongst others) knows his or her stuff.


Here's one about Einstein stating that "Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge" (which he did).


Also found this one from Sagan pretty ironic these days.

I'm not a great fan of quotes (or supposed quotes, as some are fake)..

Have to say I am a big fan of legitimate accredited quotes mate and think they are incredibly important (and useful) when it comes to conveying sometimes complicated ideas in a short pithy fashion.

Probably all the more important these days as the average person (if there is such a thing) appears to have the average attention span of about one minute - probably due to social (media?) conditioning.

It's twenty minutes long but thought there was some excellent quotes contained within this video - also some crucially important subject matter.
