I always seem to have trouble with this category. Very creative teaser though.
I am completly at a lose here. i dont mean to be and im not a lazy person. but im new to all of this and i just didnt get it. but im sure if i did it would be great.
Nice quote but I took the hint too literally so I thought you were shifting the substitution each time a letter was used. (Nothing like making it really hard!) I guess I lacked the confidence and patience to do the simple substitution.. nice quote .. guees I haven't read him much..Thanks for the time and message .. your hint was a neat twist! (I like being tricked) .. I'm feeling more confident already!
nothing like hard riddles, misinterpretation, and getting letters mixed up...
this makes it hard for me to figure words u know...
good try

You know this wasn't a bad teaser. I got it right the moment I looked at the hint. However, you made a small mistake when you translated the name of the author of that quote. Once I realized who the author was, Garvey, I just googled his quotes on confidence.
"You translated wrong! You made it Earcus Garvey... notice the k is the second to last letter of "started", etc."
I was about to say the same thing. Phew. Glad I didn't mess up! Hahaha.
Not a bad teaser anyways. Nice quote.

Oh, but that person who said "You translated wrong! You made it Earcus Garvey... notice the k is the second to last letter of "started", etc." was also wrong. "j" was the last letter of "started". But 'k' WAS the last letter of "have".
Boo on me. Never mind. They said second to last. Blah. confuzzled. hahaha.

I know the answer now, but you didn't tell us how to get there.
I don't understand your hint...but you're probably tired of hearing complaints.
I like this one a lot, and the hint was very clever. After that, it was a piece of cake (yum ). Good job, and wanna see more !
