l’École de SpecGram, Washington D.C.

Select letters from the columns to fill the spaces directly below them, revealing a not-so-well-known quotation. This one is pointlessly tricky, in that some words wrap at the edge of the grid, and some do not. Why? Why not.

       I                                                                                                  
       I G               B I O                      E        C A       
A N H A A B O S        A        I        G H I
I R L C O E P S T A E R E I L L
L T M E T I R T T H O R O N R L
T W N G U M S U T Y T U R O S Y
“                                                                                                         
                                                                                                               
                                                               ? ”        “               ,
’               — ’        ’                                                  ’       
                                                 ’                                                        
                                                        ,        ’                             .”
