This one is proving to be a tough. Those 4 long quote entries have no clues-adding to the difficulty. I still love it though!
If I’ve solved and you need a nudge, you can PM me. Happy to pay it forward.

Loved it! Though certainly not easy. More like painstaking.
A fun solve while on the back deck watching a hazy orange sun set in a sky made slightly smoky here in Michigan by the Canada wildfires.

Done. Woke up this morning and got a fresh look. I like the big quote as the centerpiece of these puzzles. The guy is a genius

I particularly enjoy Double or Nothing puzzles because they involve lots of inference/deduction. Great quote - I think I recall seeing this some While back in another puzzle.

I like these puzzles because they make me work a little harder. I agree with the comment above. PB is great with words.

So much fun! I had trouble with the SE corner.
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I wonder if he has a computer program which helps create all these variety puzzles. I'd like to see how he does one of these.
