I'm quoting a book, who is quoting another man. How would I quote this correctly??

This is what the book originally quoted: "I felt like some latter-day Newton who'd just had an Idaho potato caromed off his skull." The book was quoting Ray Croc.

How do I correctly quote the book quoting this man?.. PLEASE HELP!!!!!
