Answer:

IN AMERICA NOBODY SAYS YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE CIRCUMSTANCES SOMEBODY ELSE GIVES YOU. – AMY TAN

Step 1: Identify Short Words

Start by identifying common short words:

  • “RB” could be “IN.”
  • “BZAZGU” could be “NOBODY.”
  • “NZ” could be “TO.”
  • “MLU” could be “AMY.”

Step 2: Make Initial Guesses

Let’s replace “RB” with “IN,” “NZ” with “TO,” and “MLU” with “AMY”:

  • R = I
  • B = N
  • N = T
  • Z = O
  • M = A
  • L = M
  • U = Y

Step 3: Fill in the Puzzle Using the Guesses

Using these letter mappings:

  • RB = IN
  • MLVJRQM = AMERICA (M = A, L = M, V = E, J = R, Q = I)
  • BZAZGU = NOBODY (B = N, Z = O, A = B, G = D, U = Y)
  • CMUC = SAYS (C = S, M = A, U = Y)

So the first part reads: IN AMERICA NOBODY SAYS YOU…

Step 4: Continue with Known Letters

Now, let’s continue decoding the rest of the quote:

  • UZT WMFV = HAVE TO (U = Y, Z = O, T = U, W = H, M = A, F = V)
  • XVVH NWV = KEEP THE (X = K, V = E, H = P, N = T)
  • QRJQTLCNMBQVC = CIRCUMSTANCES (Q = C, R = I, J = R, T = U, L = M, C = S)
  • CZLVAZGU = SOMEBODY (C = S, Z = O, L = M, V = E, A = B, G = D, U = Y)
  • VPCV = ELSE (V = E, P = L, C = S)
  • IRFVC UZT = GIVES YOU (I = G, R = I, F = V, V = E, C = S, U = Y, Z = O, T = U)

So the second part reads: YOU HAVE TO KEEP THE CIRCUMSTANCES SOMEBODY ELSE GIVES YOU.

Step 5: Decode the Author’s Name

  • MLU NMB = AMY TAN
