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.
