Hello my dear Sherlocks, I have a simple cipher for you to solve today.
If you don’t know what that means, basically the letters in the cipher have been moved around out of order.
Good luck solving it, and as always, the answer is in the comments!

The cipher works simply by reversing the entire block of text, so it starts with the last letter and reads back to the first, completely ignoring line-breaks. The quotation is:
