But a lot of quote websites accepting a quote isn't evidence either.

We can only assess the truthfulness of the attribution if we have the original source.

That's true. I guess I overreacted a little. My point of contention wasn't so much that some quote websites (which aren't necessarily evidence by themselves) posting this quote must mean that it's real, as much as it was with Popper declaring that it must necessarily be fake without any evidence either.
