Help! What do you do if you can remember a quote but you can't remember where you got it from? *gnashes teeth*

(Context: writing this damn essay - someone said something funny in one of the zillion books I'm reading about an easy response to some misogynistic social contract theories - just "add women and stir", that is to say, the misogyny isn't inherent in the theory, it's just a sign of the times, snip it out. FWIW, you can't add women and stir to make Rousseau less of an asshole.)

Which looks like it might actually be like it's citing the person you're looking for.
