But it is not what you wrote. You wrote:

"Do you have a real source for Einstein ever having said
anything like this?
Beyond the internet forever repeating itself?"


ever having said
anything like this?

anything like this?


"anything"

in any degree; to any extent; in any way; at all:
any thing whatever; something, no matter what:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/anything



You didn't say "exactly that", you said..."anything".



I posted anything.


I don't know what the 'year 1983' has to do with Einstein.


Didn't he died before the year 1983???

Why are yous people looking for quotes AFTER he died??? dats dumb.
