This is how the world ends... not with a bang, but with a whimper. (T.S. Eliot in "The Hollow Men").
Guess what I did to find this out. I typed the beginning of the quote on the Google search bar and... here you go. It's very quick, you should try it.
(Me, screaming: WHY DON'T THEY JUST GOOLE IT FROM THE BEGINNING???!!!)

Could this be the one you are looking for?
"The day the world ends, no one will be there, just as no one was there when it began. This is a scandal. Such a scandal for the human race that it is indeed capable collectively, out of spite, of hastening the end of the world by all means just so it can enjoy the show."
