They copied it from somewhere, then.
I don't know the provenance, but I can tell you that a friend of mine related that exact quote to me in 1985. I have often repeated it.
The first edition of the book was in 1979, so perhaps they just copied off themselves.
That would, indeed, explain everything.
Can self-plagiarism make you go blind?
