When a head and a book collide, is it always the book that's hollow?

The quote you're looking for is:

When a book and a head collide and a hollow sound is heard, must it always have come from the book?

― Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Thanks, I now understand that they were paraphrasing instead of incorrectly remembering the quote.
