Einstein said, ' they both look alike to me'.
There’s no evidence that Albert Einstein ever said, “They both look alike to me.”
This quote doesn’t appear in any of his well-documented writings, speeches, or interviews, nor is it cited in authoritative collections like
The Ultimate Quotable Einstein by Alice Calaprice, which catalogs his verified statements and addresses misattributions.
Einstein’s recorded quotes typically reflect his thoughts on physics, philosophy, or social issues—often with precision or wit—but this phrase lacks the context and style consistent with his known expressions.
The quote’s phrasing is vague and informal, which contrasts with Einstein’s usual clarity, even in casual remarks.
It’s possible EdwinA is thinking of a misattributed or paraphrased statement from someone else, or perhaps a fictional depiction (e.g., in a movie or book).
Misattributions to Einstein are common due to his iconic status; phrases like “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity” have been debated for decades, with origins often traced elsewhere (like Fritz Perls’ writings in the 1940s).
