Who Said What? IVLanguage brain teasers are those that involve the English language. You need to think about and manipulate words and letters.
Below are two quotes, each by a different individual. However, some of their letters have been removed. Your task is twofold: first, determine what letters have been removed and, secondly, take those letters and unscramble them to spell out the individual's name. Do this for each quote. Do not mix the letters between the two quotes. An example has been provided.
Incomplete quote: "Human eing are the onl creatures n earth that aow their children to ome ack home." - I
Completed quote: "Human (B)eing(S) are the onl(Y) creatures (O)n earth that a(L)(L)ow their children to (C)ome (B)ack home."
Given letters: I - Missing letters: B, S, Y, O, L, L, C, B
Unscrambled letters: Bill Cosby
