The quote
Well, I didn't know it was going to be luminous, did I?

The key
Each code letter stood for one real letter (code letter, then the real letter it hid):
M → AD → BL → DU → EF → GW → IN → KB → LC → MH → NZ → OG → SR → TT → UO → W
The most frequent code letter was W (7 times), which stood for I. 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.
