“Research is formalized curiosity.  It is poking and prying with a purpose.”   —   Zora Neale Hurston

(This was not an easy solve, despite the A and I being fairly obvious.  This is the very first Zora Neale Hurston quote since I’ve been posting these spoilers, and I really like it.  A great way to prepare for Black History Month, as she was a very accomplished woman of color, way before the civil rights movement.  If they were to make a movie of her life they would just have to cast Queen Latifah in the lead role.  Just look at those cheek bones!  Ah luvs me mah Queen!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
