I read this in some academic journal in the late 90s.
When I speak, the question to be asked is: who speaks, and from where?
Anyone who knows whose quote it is?

Do you remember the name of the magazine?
It sounds very Zen to me, so I would start there.
I don't know who said it though.
Maybe Joshu?
“I never said half the crap people said I did.”
thats yogi berra, free. although I think maybe the operative word was "stuff" and not "crap."

Hi, Bounty
free was complaining about an interference in his/her account, so one doesn't know who is posting.

You are right, Danik,but... what can I do! I have written to the administrator to delete my profile to avoid such confusion. Have not got any answer.
Try Logos. Maybe if you delete your old user name and get a new name and a new password the problem ceases.You are right, Danik,

im skeptical that's albert Einstein free, despite the webpage saying so. the site didn't give an actual reference or context, plus its hard to imagine Einstein saying "crap" too.
there are only two quotes im aware of that are attributed to him---the really famous one about the definition of insanity (which im skeptical of!) and when I was a kid I used to have a poster of him that said "imagination is more important than knowledge." very few people would be able to connect him to that quote, if he did indeed say it.
so id be wondering what's his basis for saying such a thing? who is running around quoting all sorts of Einstein? hmmm...
the actual yogi berra quote apparently goes like this: "I never said most of the things I said."

Thanks, bounty. "I see what I see."
