Maybe the first time you pound your head with anger, but the next time you pound your head with love. Sure enough your head is still likely to hurt, but there is a different energy expelled in anger than in love. I agree, sometimes it is persistence that creates change (with a dose of love) than giving up.

I think that the quote “repeating the same mistakes but/and expecting different results explains abusive relationships to a “T”

It is also possible that Franklin said it. The fact is that there is no way to prove that either of them actually said it first.

And there was a book written in ’82 (published in ’83) that had a quote almost identical to the passage in Browns book from ’83. Which makes me ask the question. If Brown got it from the ’82 book on addiction or the author of said book, then what was her connection to the Author?

Especially when that quote was probably meant to introduce some sanity into an insane world! (Now watch the stream of insanity that follows…..)
