Are you sure that this is correct? Because several of the letters seem to translate into something in the answer htat you do not have it as in the key. For instance, the w ends up being an o. Otherwise I like the series of quotes you have started.
Didida, you need to look the other direction... the cypher is not bi-directional. The left side is the decoded and the right side is the encoded letter.
I WILL not eat green eggs and ham!
Did you know Dr.Seuss pronounced his name so that it rhymed with the word "rejoice"? So it should be pronounced Dr. SOY-SS.
