To solve, write the answers to the clues on the
numbered dashes. Then transfer each letter to the
correspondingly numbered square in the grid to spell
a quotation reading from left to right. Black squares
separate words in the quotation. Work back and
forth between the word list and the grid to complete
the puzzle. When you’re finished, the initial letters of
the answers in the word list will spell the author’s
name and the source of the quotation.
