Certainly, but this is not the phrase wanted.
I Had the opportunity to look it up in the meantime.
It is in the 'ultimate quotable Einstein',
in the 'attributed to' part.
This is an error, it should be in the 'not by Einstein' section.

 *Insanity is doing the same thing over and over
again and expecting different results.
By Rita Mae Brown, in Sudden Death (New York: Bantam,
1983), 68. Thanks to Barbara Wolff for the source.
=====
So an invention from well after Einstein's death,
by someone without any connection to either physics or Einstein.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Mae_Brown>
 
And looking that up, in that book,
I find that there isn't any real Einstein in the book.
The phrase is there, in the dialogue,
but it is said by a character in the book who is nicknamed 'Einstein',
presumably because she is supposed to have brains.
 
So it is all bunk, and it has nothing to do with the real Einstein,

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:

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.

Pfft. Do read.
The quotation is correct, the source I found for it is correct,
and has nothing at all to do with Albert Einstein.

It is a mis-attribution,
