yeah... I read that quote in this ^ book...
In the book, Anthony Robbins, a lonely, unfulfilled giant finds his only comfort in feigning terminal illness and attending disease support groups while hopping in bed with members of sexual addiction groups and killing off his endless collection of goldfish. Hopping from group to group, he encounters another pretender, the morose Marrlah Cingrr, who immediately gets under his skin and makes him believe he is really Jesus' foreskin going around robbing people's medicine cabinets because he feels like he has no face. However, while returning from a business trip, he meets a more intriguing character... the subversive, yet extremely likable Tony Robbins... who he gives the heimlich maneuver to when he discovers him choking in the bathroom stall next to his. They become friends, in essence "awakening the giant within", and bonding over a mutual disgust for corporate consumer culture hypocrisy and a simultaneous love of mental masturbation. Eventually, the two men start a club of mental and physical giants, which convenes in a coffee bar basement where angry, straight men get to vent their homosexual frustrations in brutal, bare-knuckle bouts of circle jerk competitions. The personal power club soon becomes the men's only place to be, but when the club starts a cross-country expansion, things start getting really crazy and Tony learns the only way he can scream inwardly at the cosmic obtuseness of the great existential truths of our time is to get to know more and more about less and less until finally he knows everything there is to know about nothingness forevermore...
