It's probably an original quote, but anything that far back we really have no way of knowing who, and it might even have been added before accounts were required to edit.

so there really isn't anyway of knowing unless it's the original creator or someone who's connected to it's origin? damn well I'll still keep an eye out hopefully I'll find something.

The Anti-Nihilist's edit history cuts off at 2011, which is where was a server move and the data before that time got lost. It may be impossible to track down the individual editor who came up with that line, unless one of the mod staff happened to be active when the page was made. Shame indeed. I suggest just using "- TV Tropes" per How to Cite TV Tropes in your case.

have a quote tattoo end with "-TV Tropes" might be kinda neat also a slight amount of personal irony on the fact that the person who introduced me to Tv Tropes also had a conversation with me about how much they hate quote tattoos.
