KEYWORDS: todayscryptogram
You can find this fun quotation puzzle, to combat early dementia and senility in us baby boomers, in several daily publications. I challenge us with the best ones out there.

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.

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.

HAL'S CRYPTOGRAM HELPER

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.

Author’s name fairly shouts itself.

< 1 min. I instinctively knew the author's name, even without a Palantir.

Quick, even if you start with the contraction instead of the author.

Yeah but dependent on when it was said.

Maybe if during WWII it would make sense, then again Ayn Rand was prophetic in todays ‘world’ —the statement fits today if one is mesmerized by the ‘chicken littles’ of the day.

Two minutes, and a sad thing to say during a lock-down.

Srill wiping sleep from my eyes and got it in a minute. Had to look up the first initial, not a fan of the author’s writing.
