Split infinitices

I'm sure there is some famous and at least half-funny quote about split infinitives. I wish to politely ask if you know the quote I mean.

 What the hell does that have to do with split infinitives?

I believe that although technically incorrect, split infinitives are now used so frequently that they are no longer regarded as being 'bad grammar'.

As the OED states: "… in standard English the principle of allowing split infinitives is broadly accepted as both normal and useful" (August, 1998)
