My Quest for the Yeti Quotes

“I could tell that he had heard about me and that I would soon be a figure in the stories he would tell his grandchildren. A strange figure: "The man who kept asking everyone about the yeti, and who himself looked like one."

I did not want to know that tale, but I knew that it meant that the tale of the yeti - in some form - would exist forever.

Storytellers die; their stories live on.”
― Reinhold Messner, My Quest for the Yeti: Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery

“There's much more behind our thirst for monsters than curiosity or escapism. There is fear that the earth is loosing the last regions where myth can flourish.”
― Reinhold Messner, My Quest for the Yeti: Confronting the Himalayas' Deepest Mystery
