I found this on:  http://www.psycom.net/quotations.html 
 
 
"I am somehow less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's 
brain, than in the near certainty that men and women of equal talent have 
lived and died in cottonfields and sweatshops. " 
 
-- Stephen Jay Gould 
 
The source was not given.  Gould makes more sense as a source for several 
reasons, not the least of which is that Einstein outlived Keynes and 
interest in the size of his brain was heightened by the fact that it was 
removed at his death and pickled.
