A bit hard to get started, until I got the tenth word, and the author.

Hard for me this morning. Kept playing around with small letters words and saw something in author. Correct guess of author led to solution.

Slow start for me this morning, first name of the author was the key for me, then I solved it in a flash.

2 min. tried to do it without letter frequency.
Started over; saw the double letters at the first word; grammatically, that gave me the 2nd and 4 words and off to the races.

Miraculously, I looked at the word YDUDUCDY, and just... knew it. Somehow. That’s a great quote!

Kind of tricky with the double letters spaced out like that.

Once the vowels fit in, fairly easy.....

Thanks for sharing nikos1121 it IS most helpful....
