"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

That statement is widely requoted , but actually pretty meaningless. And often incorrectly attributed to Einstein - not entirely sure why, he was a great physicist but not really greatly qualified as a psychologist/psychiatrist.

There are many, many forms of insanity, almost all of which do not match this quote.

I suspect it was originally authored by a politician seeking to invest less in mental health care, as so few people would qualify as insane.

Also, when rolling dice, it would pretty insane to keep expecting the same result.
