“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

“Then a thought hits me: maybe the Sasquatch hasn't been found, indeed can't be found, because it residesin the place most difficult for us to find and navigate. A wilderness of an altogether different sort. A place where people seldom look, or are loath to look: in the subtler shades, the gradations between black and white—the middle ground between "this" and "that," between "It exists" and "It doesn't exist," where the components of truth most often reside.”
― John Zada, In the Valleys of the Noble Beyond: In Search of the Sasquatch

“If you see a Sasquatch out on the land, it's meant to tell you something. You were supposed to see it. You don't go looking for it just for the sake of seeing it. If you do, you'll never find them... it's just like in life; when you try too hard to find something, you can't. But then as soon as you stop looking, stop trying, you become more likely to find it.”
― 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.”
