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 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.

About 3 min. Guessing fifth word got me going. Relying on sentence structure got me further. Interesting quote.

I think when I see the ABCC sequence, the “C”. is almost always what it is here. Ghat gave me the author’s last name, then it was off to the races.

Quite quick. Guessed the common letter correctly, then an article, and the second word occurred to me. Then the rest was easy…

Took a shot at the AG digram. It worked.

The pairing of the letters A and G. It is recurrent at the beginning of four words, one of them having three letters. Good clue.
