"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again but expecting different results." - Albert Einstein 1) Albert Einstein did not say this. (The quote wrongly attributed to him started out in AA and NA circles, and was first published in the precise form of this OP headline in 1983 in a book by Rita Mae Brown.) 2) It is a terrible definition of insanity. Buying lottery tickets, for instance, is merely dumb. It is not insane. Thinking your horrible boyfriend will change *this time* is dumb, but not particularly suggestive of insanity. Tearing out your eyes so that you will not see sin and will thus ascend into heaven is insane. Stalking Jessica Alba because you believe her to be in love with you is (very, very probably) insane. Charlie Brown is not insane for thinking Lucy will let him kick the football. He is merely foolish.
