In July of 2019, I searched for this quote over a period of several days. I had a vague recollection of reading it somewhere years earlier, but could not recall where, what the exact wording was, or even who exactly said it, but I became obsessed with finding it. I eventually discovered it cited in an April 2019 article20 by a postdoctoral research fellow at Georgetown. By my best recollections, I had originally seen the quote on a blog maintained by an unhoused person living in DC who created his posts semiregularly at a DC Public Library computer.
