The way it works is a letter stands for another letter. For example: AXYDLBAAXR is LONGFELLOW (does not apply to today's cryptogram).
Beware, the game is very addictive. If this is your first time, don't be intimidated, you’ll be solving them all within a few days. If you’re stumped, take a break and return to it.
PLEASE DO NOT post the answer in general comments, but DO post your time and how you made out.
You can certainly send your solution to my private reply, or if you need a hint for today’s Cryptogram ASK THE GROUP FOR HELP!
I suggest printing these out and work them on paper. If you need a little help you can copy and paste it to Hal’s Helper below.
You can then work on the puzzle without using pen and paper, but I recommend that you do NOT look at the letter counter.
One last request. Feel free to post a fun or clever clue, the more tangential to the quotation the better, but please don’t put the actual words of the quote in the clue.

Quote comes from someone very prolific, ask anybody!
I had to google to find the author.
Dearest author, have you ever considered the possibility that you’re just flat out wrong?
Got the quote but had to use the quote to finish the author’s name
Yowza
Love that !
What a delightful challenge!
The name of the author is yet another cryptogram!
I guess the author was speaking of his own name, I had to search on the finished quote to find the name.
This is the bane of us conspiracy theorists, who are almost always spot on.
Same here. I think I’d change my name if I were her (him?).
Now, there is an author you do not see every day
Wow, the whole puzzle solved, minus of course, the author. I will pass on finding out who it is. I never was good with foreign languages.
