Wasn't that by Abelson/Sussman in SICP lectures, instead of Dijkstra? Or did Abelson/Sussman say that because Dijkstra said it, quoting Dijkstra?

It was famously Dijkstra, so they were almost certainly quoting him. He was responsible for a lot of great aphorisms; I think he was as quotable as he was irascible.
