I suspect that this is one of those quotes that everyone has heard from someone else, who has heard it from someone else again, who has forgot who they heard it from....
It's used everywhere, so I don't think it's completely false.
But it could be a similar quote by Orwell that has in time been changed into this one...
(and by the way: cool google ads at the bottom of this topic...
It's supposed to be ads related to the content of each page, guess it was too much sleep talking for google .
.)
