The quote

It means your future hasn't been written yet. No one's has. Your future is whatever you make it, so make it a good one.

Doc Brown, Back to the Future Part III (1990)

The puzzle as it was set

YV XSMFQ NUKH EKVKHS DMQF'V ISSF OHYVVSF NSV. FU UFS'Q DMQ. NUKH EKVKHS YQ ODMVSPSH NUK XMJS YV, QU XMJS YV M CUUG UFS.

The key

Each code letter stood for one real letter (code letter, then the real letter it hid):

M → AI → BG → DS → EE → FC → GD → HY → IJ → KX → MF → NU → OH → RQ → SV → TK → UP → VO → WN → Y

The most frequent code letter was S (13 times), which stood for E. Short words, apostrophes and repeated letters are the usual way in: a one-letter word is almost always A or I, and THE is the commonest three-letter word in English.
