Notes
- The encrypted text, when fully assembled, reads "No man is liberated from fear who dare not see his place in the world as it is; no man can achieve the greatness of which he is capable until he has allowed himself to see his own littleness." This text originates from philosopher Bernard Russell, from his 1919 essay "Dreams and Facts".
