Not too be too pedantic but this is the full, accurate quote from Prejudices: Second Series, “Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem—neat, plausible, and wrong.”

Gotta ask - which book is your favorite? Love the Chrestromathy and the books he wrote about his youth.
