Started with the first and tenth words, and quickly got the name which made it easy.

I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to recognize the name.

Quite a challenge. I arranged it as:

xxxx XOUW VT xxPLMUD VT XOUW ALS GRRD QLLK UGWRM,
UJK XOUW VT VPPLMUD VT XOUW ALS GRRD NUK UGWRM.

—RMJRTW ORPVJQXUA

and realized that QLLK and NUK were probably opposites, and noticed that they ended in the same letter.

Seventh and eighth words by intuition, the rest followed.

Yes #ten got me going, leading to the XOUWs and the finish. Fun puzzle today. Ironic quote by author considering his end. Happy and safe 4th to you nikos1121.

Actually kind of quick. Most common letter begets author and from there the rest fell together.
