Is this a Ligotti quotation?

[Nemonymous]

"You can just forget everything you thought you knew about yourselves and everything else in the universe. You know nothing. You are nothing. And the choices you have for dealing with this reality are to go insane or kill yourselves. How about them apples?"

Or words he imagined someone else saying?

It is from this interview:

The Mumpsimus: A Conversation with Thomas Ligotti

"[...]An analogy could be drawn with fans of Lovecraft’s stories, who read them for their charming regionalism, their mythology of monsters, or for their unusually literate nature -- something prized by readers who are generally well read yet still have a weakness for the horror genre -- or some combination of these and other characteristics of his work. But they don’t read them as expressions of Lovecraft’s vision of human beings as bits of inconsequential organic material quivering in a black infinity that occasionally throws some phenomenon our way that is completely alien to the settled structures of our existence, as if to say: 'You can just forget everything you thought you knew about yourselves and everything else in the universe. You know nothing. You are nothing. And the choices you have for dealing with this reality are to go insane or kill yourselves. How about them apples?'[...]"

Thanks, Miguel 1984.

I wonder if it can be classed as a Thomas Ligotti quotation even though he seems to be using these words as something he wouldn't say?
Whatever the case, I think it is brilliant.
