13a ...one of the acrosses which needs a block removed....

With god's backing, keeping mate under control (6) OPALED seems to work if OPA is removed but that makes no sense following on from DIG above it ??

36a Route alteration without time to reset (7) L?NE?R? linear a/b ??

Your 1 and 13 thoughts are definitely correct - and definitely lead to a quotation...!

36 I took some things out of 'alteration' and ended up with ....

I read 13a as DEO (with god) backing, controlling PAL.

In 7d is "stationary" correct in the clue or should it be stationery?

36 sorted now ... thanks....still don't see how dig opa then cie ? make a quote though?

Orson, I took it that it was a typo in 7D as my answer seemed to work properly.

For 13, I think the 'keeping' results in Pal going inside....

Bunty, thanks. You might need a few more of the blocks to put it together. It's in Chambers and it begins with what you have....

Yes, malone, you're right thanks. An unfortunate misprint in 7d!

Unfortunately you won't find the opening word in the index in ODQ, you need a word from the translation to track down the quote.

Stationary is listed as an adjectival meaning, which is pretty obscure!
I have some ambiguity about completing the unclued entries despite having the quotation.
