Six unclued lights (two of three words, three of two) combine to form a quotation (in ODQ) from a work whose title defines the other unclued lights (one hyphened). Each clue comprises a definition Part and a hidden consecutive jumble of the light including one extra letter; these extras spell out, in five words, the quotation's source.
