“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.”

“It may or may not be real. It doesn't matter if it is literally not.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things whether the Sasquatch actually exists or not.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch
