I am sorry. I was wrong. I have a different version of the quote, and I
don't know the source of it either. Here it is:
"Since it is not for us to create a plan for the future that will hold for
all time, all the more surely what we contemporaries have to do is the
uncompromising critical evaluation of all that exists, uncompromising in
the sense that our criticism fears neither its own results nor the conflict
with the powers that be."
