I see that phrase a fair amount: “a rare and beautiful thing.” Most recently in an ESPN baseball article.
Is that phrase part of a quote? Did it definitely originate somewhere?
On my iTunes now:
Child Star by The Unicorns from "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?"

Seems like there’s at least one possible source here, but I can’t see it as the source for the larger meme…I’ll keep investigating.

I’ve looked a bunch, too! And I think that it’s just a phrase that people like, but not something that was initially USED by someone.
