Cryptoquote Solved – 04/18/23

“There are years that ask questions and years that answer.”   —   Zora Neale Hurston

(There are always going to be questions in life, but I still long for the years of always asking questions!  Wouldn’t it be great if they could develop a drug that could restore innocence?  That would be sweet.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I still say that Queen Latifah should play her in a biopic of her life!   —   YUR

“Trees and plants always look like the people they live with, somehow.”   —   Zora Neale Hurston

(That’s a new one on me, Zora!  I’ve heard that about people and their pets, but not their plants.  She looks like Queen Latifah, to me.  Once again, I didn’t spot PEOPLE until I was about half way through this.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“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
