    I don't think this was Einstein, no matter howmany times it's cited. There's never a time/date/publication that I've seen. What I HAVE seen is the quote attributed to Susan Sontag along with the book it appeared in.

      Hi Curtis, thank you for reaching us! From what we see, the above quote does belong to Albert Einstein. Though Susan Sontag's quote is very similar it is still a bit different. They might have both said similar quotes. If you have more information about this quote, we will be happy to hear. Have a great day!
