In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. (The Expanded Quotable Einstein, Princeton University, page 214)
It seems pointless to be quoted if one isn't going to be quotable. . . it's better to be quotable than honest.
Oh, Lord. I didn't mean to say anything quotable.
It is better to be quotable than to be honest.
Quotable quotes are coins rubbed smooth by circulation.
Too much traffic with a quotation book begets a conviction of ignorance in a sensitive reader. Not only is there a mass of quotable stuff he never quotes, but an even vaster realm of which he has never heard.
