See http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Benjamin_Franklin :

"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. - Misattributed to various people, including Albert Einstein and Mark Twain. The earliest known occurrence, and probable origin is Rita Mae Brown, Sudden Death (Bantam Books, New York, 1983), p. 68."
