“How far-fetched (or not) we deem the Sasquatch might also hinge on our perception of space. Bigfoots may be unbelievable to so many people simply because most of us are disconnected from the true depths and expanses of the earth and its wild areas.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“When people who see a Bigfoot in a transcendental way then choose to search for the creature afterward, they are really looking to relive, or recapture, a moment of expanded awareness that has long since vanished.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“Contrary to what we think, we experience reality not as it actually is—but as a simplified model. The reason for this? Reality is far too complex. Infinitely complex, in fact... as a result, our mind evolved to construct a deeply simplified version of all that surrounds us: a virtual reality made up of only the important information—perhaps a trillionth of the possible external stimuli. And we make do with that.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“The Sasqualogist... is no different from other self-styled heroes. HIs or her particular brand of journeying rests heavily on literal adventuring—questing—through a physically wild landscape... But this quest, it seems to me, is also metaphorical. He or she is in pursuit of what may be the most elusive prize that ever existed—a modern-day holy grail.”
