attribution & the reticulation of reality

If something doesn't exist on the Internet, does that mean it's not real?

The other day I googled something said by my friend and colleague Jacob Jeremy Nathan and got no direct hits. The quote is so good I thought it had to be from a Woody Allen movie or something. But with quotes, it's not attributed, at least not until now:
"My anxieties are giving me anxiety."
–Jacob Jeremy Nathan, January 2011
Way to go JJ, I know exactly what you mean.
