“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

“I've learned to see the Sasquatch as a powerful symbol of the natural world—a diminishing realm fro which most of us are becoming increasingly estranged. On one level, Sasquatches personify the more refined spectra of nature that we cannot, or often do not, see. They remind us that there is much more to the natural world, writ large, than meets the eye. They also show us, almost by holding a mirror to ourselves, that they eye with which we see is limited. The artificial lines we humans have created, the fragmentation we have wrought upon the whole, separate us from the wilds to which we are inextricably linked.”

“We have an innate, fundamental need for meaning—for our lives to be meaningful.”
― 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.”
