I wanted to use that quote, but I couldn't recall the attribution or exact wording and my google-fu wasn't up to finding it. Thanks!
Well, via Wikiquote the exact wording is:
...which probably didn't help your efforts, because translations vary and are often reworded slightly to suit the tastes of the quoter.
But I recalled that it was about a letter, and googling on letter shorter longer was sufficient to find the attribution. Perhaps my mind was already well-primed for finding relevant quotes and this illustrates well why I feel almost palpably stupider without internet access.
I misremembered the quote as involving an apology for the length, so my searches focused on the word "apologize". But it didn't matter in the end -- you were my external brain. ;-)
