I tried confirming it on Bing for you & found the same issue, there is no way to confirm that Einstein said it & some sites are even saying that it wasn't even Einstein that said it. Unfortunately, there are too many fans of the quote for me to Delete it. So, Instead of deleting it, since I can't, I simply put "Unknown" as the person who said it. I think this works best anyway since someone said it. I hope this helps a little.

Thank you, I tried to delete it, but it told me it had too many fans to be deleted. Did I not hit the right thing or do I not have enough status as a librarian to delete it? Because I did try :-(

(I thought it was 500, but this one had about 300, so the number may have been changed.)"Thank you. I never heard of Superlibrarian. Where do I find out about that? Perhaps I didn't read far enough into the Librarian Guide yet.

Google gives no credible sources for this quote and several people saying its fake. Can I get someone to get a source or remove it?
