The oldest use of the quote that I can find is from a 1998 WHO document: http://www.searo.who.int/en/Section1257/Section2181/Section2...

“Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas" is a 2001 novel by James Patterson, so I don't think that can be the origin of the story.

Also, note that Brian Dyson was CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises (NYSE: CCE) not CEO of The Coca Cola Company (NYSE: KO). (When people say "Coke" or "Coca Cola" they almost always mean the latter, not the former.) http://www.wilsoncenter.org/index.cfm?topic_id=5949&fuse...
