Pablo Picasso
In Cryptography teasers, a phrase or expressions has been encoded in some way (frequently by replacing letters with other letters). You need to figure out the encoding method and then decode the message to find the answer.
The following quote was made by Pablo Picasso (1881-1973).
Can you decode it?
S=L
"PR PAUKBJ XNZW UA PB, 'ZE RAL NJB N XASWZBJ, RAL FZSS QBTAPB N HBMBJNS. ZE RAL NJB N PAMV, RAL FZSS QBTAPB UKB DADB.' ZMXUBNW, Z FNX N DNZMUBJ, NMW QBTNPB DZTNXXA."
Answer
"MY MOTHER SAID TO ME, 'IF YOU ARE A SOLDIER, YOU WILL BECOME A GENERAL. IF YOU ARE A MONK, YOU WILL BECOME THE POPE.' INSTEAD, I WAS A PAINTER, AND BECAME PICASSO."
