Note: Each letter of every word is separated by a dash and each word is separated by a slash.

Several things to notice: the number 2 shows up by its self. Meaning either an "I" or an "A". most likely an "A". And there are few 3 letter words that come up often in codes: "THE" "AND" "ITS". So we can rule out "AND" for the second word because the "A" is already used.
When looking at just these two parts we can show that the middle section looks like this:
T_, _E, _ _, _ _T, T_, _E, THAT, _ _, THE, _ _ E_T_ _ _ .

Looking at the spaces available I found it ovious what this quote should be, because not to many letters can go after "T" to make a 2 letter word (A and E already taken). With the numbers found in the second quote, and the end of the quote starts with a squiggle (normally meaning someone said/wrote it) I was able to create enough of word to crack the code.
