I know. So many times we think we're quoting someone, and we forget or don't realize we're quoting someone else attributing something to them.
And I mean, maybe we do have Fritz directly on that (I would be over the moon if we did), but given that my only source quotes Voltaire, I'm thinking we don't.
While I'm here, I reported in another comment that Voltaire published his memoirs anonymously and denied publishing them, leading to an authorship controversy, but all I can find when googling is that they were published posthumously. So I must be thinking of something else (one of his many other controversies, I'm sure). So take everything I say with a grain of salt too, since I'm frequently working from memory. ;)
