It'd be sad if Armstrong, a de facto ambassador for science, had said
something so baseless. Is there any evidence that he actually did?

Google Neil Armstrong quotes first hit first quote

Yup, like any chain-letter, it's all over the web. But none of the sites
cite any evidence, as far as I've noticed. In effect, lots of people are all
pointing to one another and saying "I believe it because *you* do". :-)

If it was in a Quote Book at the library would that be a better
proof/evidence?

Nope, not unless the book cites a credible original source.
