“Clay can be dirt in the wrong hands, but clay can be art in the right hands.” — Lupita Nyong’o
(This one took some doing! Nothing ends in E. No repeating, or alternating letters. And, not a lot of names have apostrophes there. I was able to see THE RIGHT, but erred and tried making the C the S, but I don’t know any words that end in SG. So, I switched the S to N and I was off to the races. This is our first quote from the Kenyan actress. So, today we welcome Lupita Nyong’o to the Cryptoquote Club! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Ha! I’ll take your word for it, Wes. — YUR
Yeah. It was BUT that got me started to. (I failed to mention that!) Frankie has become a bit of a giveaway! — YUR
