It's directly from the article, and Clean Code was one of the first books I purchased.

Fixed the typo, thanks.

The article is not written by Robert Martin, so that doesn’t necessarily establish he said that. You also implied Fowler said it. Thanks for clarifying.

I believe Robert Martin did say this, but there was probably a preface from the book that didn’t make it into the article, so the quote in the article may be a bit out of context.
