Einstein (supposedly).

Actually, the more accepted version of the quote is:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity.


I've only ever seen that quote with the additional phrase: "and I'm not so
sure about the universe".

While the two quotes are similar, and I suppose Ellison's might have been
inspired by Einstein's, they are hardly semantically equivalent. I wouldn't
call the two quotes the same, or even different versions of the same quote.
