Anybody know who this is a quote of?

"The Universe is not organized for our comfort or convenience, and life is often not a choice between good and bad, but among the alternatives that are available, which may all be bad."

No idea, I've heard the argument before, but never put exactly that way. Shockingly (or maybe not so shocking) wikipedia uses those exact words, but doesn't provide a reference:

"By this argument, the Universe is not organized for our comfort or convenience, and life is often not a choice between good and bad, but among the alternatives that are available, which may all be bad"
