Without error, there can be no brilliancy (Lasker) - Source?

Hello everyone!

One of my favourite players is Emmanuel Lasker.  Researching about his life, I ended up finding one of his famous quotes (in several chess websites), which I've become fascinated about: "Without error, there can be no brilliancy".

However, I'm having a hard time to find a source where he actually said/wrote those words. Was it a book? A magazine? Was it something other people witnessed him saying?

Does anyone have any information on this?

Thanks a lot!

"No known original source though widey attributed to Lasker; for example in Larry Evans' 1970 Chess Catechism: Including the Ten Best Games of the Modern Era"
