I just re-read the chapter on karate in the book you mentioned The Way of the Warrior as I have a copy beside my desk. No mention of the comment you remembered in any of the quotes attributed to Higanno in that chapter. Perhaps you were thinking of another book?
Both men in the links listed in this thread have impressive karate skills. Karate is much like modern taiji in that it is rare to find teachers who are really impressive as both practitioners and instructors.
