I'll post a new cryptogram after each one is solved, first person to post the right thing get's the glory of being first to post the right answer! ;) Each quote will either be by a famous mystery author or about mysteries. For extra credit, you can say what the author did or where the quote comes from. I'll start out with a short one. Good luck!

What do we need spaces for? I deciphered it without the spaces. I won't post here though. It was difficult, but not impossible. I'll send it over to you Anais so you can verify that I have it.

...I stand in awe. So, for everyone else who- ctown cover your ears so this doesn't go to your head- doesn't have as big of a brain as ctown, this is it with slashes for spaces:
23 9 14 4 3 9 16 / 21 11 4 19 5 16 / 11 7 13 4 21 16
8 18 3 8 1 18 / 21 11 18 15 16 18 1 2 18 16 / 19 18 2 18 14
24 19 18 12 / 21 11 18 26 / 11 7 6 / 21 11 18 15.
-7 5 7 21 11 7 / 23 11 14 4 16 21 4 18
L=1

Ctown, bragging is not very flattering, you know. ;D Any guesses? No? Next hint is the quoted is a female author.

And that female author is someone you should all know. And if you don't know who she is then shame on you! ;-)

Curious things, habits. People themselves never knew they had them.
- Agatha Christie
Agatha and her sister did not go to school - instead, they had tutors at home. At the age of seventeen, Agatha went for a year to a 'finishing school' in Paris.
