It's commonly attributed to Voltaire but I believe I have since read that it doesn't appear anywhere in his writings.

Voltaire, thanks Fitzer, thats the very one. Interesting that it doesn't appear in his writings though.

As said above, Voltaire reputedly said: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." However, if you click here, you will see that this was just a paraphrase of Voltaire's attitude created by Beatrice Hall, his biographer.
