… is from Thiry d’Holbach, as quoted on page 159 of Philipp Blom’s 2010 book, A Wicked Company:

Men will always deceive themselves by abandoning experience to follow imaginary systems.

DBx: If not literally all, certainly too many ‘men’ – too many people – are prone to behave in the fatal way as described by Holbach. Sad.
