Each set of words below is really a one-liner by a well-known person, but each individual word contains one extra letter. To solve, drop the correct letter from each word and then respace and punctuate the remaining letters. The letters dropped from the capitalized words can be anagrammed into the name of the author of the quote. The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of letters in the author’s first and last names.
