A Quote in Hungarian -- A Fallen Phrase

If you are familiar with this type of puzzles, just go ahead and solve it. You do not need this introduction. But if you do not know what is it all about, just wait, I am telling you the story of the board you are facing now. 

So, just to let you know, originally, all the letters were on the board, but something happened to them and they fell out of it. Now all the letters you need to reconstruct the quote originally written on the board are just under the column they belong to. However, it is not as simple as it may sound because they are scrambled.

Your task is to put the letters back on the board so that the message appears again. Be cautious! Words are separated by black squares, not by the end of a line.
