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.
