Pretty close! - the exact original is:

“But one thing is certain: to understand the whole you must look at
the whole”
    Kacser, H. (1986). On parts and wholes in metabolism. In The
 organization of cell metabolism (ed. G. R. Welch and J. S. Clegg),
                pp. 327-337. Plenum Press, New York.


All the best,
Douglas.
