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.
Have fun with today’s cryptogram and have a TERRIFIC TUESDAY.

That helper link really made it easier. Those who want to make the puzzle easier and lose out on the more difficult challenge deserve it good and hard. (the hint is in there!)
I took a guess with the 1st, and 14th words since they were similar. That led me to the 1st initial of the author, which even I know, and the rest fell into place.
One of my favorite writers. The letter pattern is easily recognizable. Second quote in a week or so.
Definitely (as opposed to indefinitely) a good way to solve.
Got it right away from the author. I’m currently listening to an audiobook of that author.
I am offended by the first sentence.
