Extra Word Sudoku (Qudoku) Puzzle for Monday, 3/28/2011

On the 28th of each month, I’ll challenge you to uncover quotes from famous people. Today’s first quote comes from a football player; the second quote comes from a writer who lived in the time of Charles Darwin.

I was moved by Yahoo Sports writer Les Carpenter’s article last year about Dante Stallworth’s return to football after serving time for second-degree felony manslaughter (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=lc-stallworthsecondchance081210). Carpenter explains that Stallworth was allegedly driving drunk just before dawn in March, 2009 when he hit a man running across the highway. Stallworth had several possible defenses, but chose the felony plea bargain to spare the victim’s family. The 29-year old football player makes one of those obvious-yet-profound statements many of us couldn’t have uttered until we were long past Stallworth’s age.

British satirist Samuel Butler (1835–1902) is perhaps best known for his novels Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh. Look up some of his quotes on WikiQuotes; Butler would have been very interesting to talk to!
