All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.”   —   Karen Blixen

(Out of – No, not AfricaDGJQVXZ, I guessed correctly with “X“!  This woman is not really new to the Cryptoquote.  Only under this, her actual name.  We’ve seen quotes from her before as Isak Dinesen.  This lady had a lot of pseudonyms!  She also published under the names:  Tania Blixen, Osceola, and Pierre Andrézel.  She’s right though.  Putting your troubles into a story does make them easier to bear.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Through all the world there goes one long cry from the heart of the artist:  Give me leave to do my utmost.”   — Isak Dinesen

(What?  It’s not: Show me the money!?  Actually, it could be interpreted as such.  In order for the artist to be free to create it helps – a lot – if they don’t have to worry about those mundane – but necessary – things:  food, clothing and shelter.  Very often, girls with guys’ names kind of bug me.  But, I just found out that Isak, a variant of Isaac, is a Hebrew word meaning laughter.  What could be more perfect, for a child of any gender, than that?)   — YUR
