Enigmatic Variations No.1370 – Quotation by Gos
“The theme of the puzzle is a well-known final comment, subsequently much quoted (although rarely in full). After completion of the grid the contents of 11 cells must be erased (always leaving real words) and one circled letter replaced, to reveal the encompassing QUOTATION (10 words). The 12 circled letters can then be arranged to form the speaker’s surname, which must be written below the grid. Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended, but does not contain 20ac (which can be confirmed in ODE) or 10dn.”

What one always experiences with Phi: a slow start, but then after a while everything runs smoothly, with a whole lot of good clues whose explanation is fairly straighforward and one wonders why they ever presented any difficulties.
Definitions in maroon, underlined. Anagram indicators in italics.
