Philosophers have argued for centuries about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but materialists have always known it depends on whether they are jitterbugging or dancing cheek to cheek.

The actual quote you are looking for is not how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, it's how many dance on the point of a needle. It's first mentioned by a theologian called Ralph Cudworth. It's used by most people to describe the sort of nonsensical theological debates that go on amongst Christians and Thomist quibblers.
