You've probably seen the imagememe on the left. The quote was falsely attributed to a nonexistent person, and eventually to a former prime minister of Canada also incorrectly.
I actually created this quote in a Facebook comment in 2011. A year later the misattributed memes had gotten so annoying that I scrolled back on Facebook to find my original post, and took a screenshot.
If you throw the first few words into Google you can find merch based on the quote, not that I get any commission.

Thank you for sourcing it.

I use that comparison myself.

In fact, it's in my collected wisdom. Feel free to claim credit in a reply.

Here lies one whose name was writ in electrons

Thanks. I try my best to attribute properly, but couldn't for the life of me remember where I'd seen that one.
