You know what one of my favorite ingredients of crosswording is? Perseverance.
If you quit a puzzle, you can't finish it.
Sure, every once in a while, you run into a doozy that you don't think you could
ever solve in a million years, but if you stick with it, you figure it out, eventually.
Worst thing you can do is leave it unfinished. It's never the solution, is it?

Howard:
You know what my favorite part of a crossword is?
When you realize you know something you didn't think you knew.

Mary:
New York Times crossword editor, Will Shortz, says "We have a natural
compulsion to fill empty spaces." I like to think he means not just crosswords
but the empty spaces inside of us that come from making your way in a world
that doesn't always embrace unique.

On the journey of life, just find someone as normal as you, if not a whole bunch.
