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.
Enjoy today’s Cryptogram.
(today’s quote just begs for you to post one of the many examples of it’s truth ….. y’all have at it.)
Stuck in the middle.
Indeed, it’s a brave, new world.

I thought this was an old quote from Donald Rumsfeld.
It is not.
In math, there will always be unprovable theorems.
I’m a bit weak on the topic but the unprovable part is not what the author says.
It has nothing to do with provability, but ontology and epistemology. Gödel’s theorem states that in any axiomatic system (like Euclidean geometry) there will always be true statements that cannot be proven, but I do not think that is what our author was thinking about. An example of the closed doors, imho, is something like quarks. Quarks can be used to explain nuclear interactions in a completely consistent way, but are effectively impossible to observe with current technology, and likely never will be. It took enormous intellectual insight, and perseverance to even begin to understand the structure of the atom. A lot of doors had to be unlocked to find quarks.
