The quote makes no sense without "a". It's always annoyed me that it's not added in, whether he said it or not!

It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn't even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between "man" as singular and "mankind" as collective should provide all of the context needed. If I describe a scene of a story as "man goes to work," no one assumes I'm talking about the collective of humanity.
