When I went looking for an easy way to put random quotes into my web pages, here is the web page I found (Now at Archive.org). I liked Server-Side Includes and perl, which is why I chose this script. Highland Media is still around, but they no longer support the script or make it available for download.
(With permission) I am making the script available here.
Here is the distribution Download in zip format: quote.zip
And here is the Additional Quote File with Dhamapada quotes (teachings of the Buddha): dhamapd.zip
There are also some more small quote files in text format still available from the page at Archive.org. That page also explains the script operation.Here is a quote test page that shows several quotes at once.
Disclaimer: I do not provide any formal support for the script. I may be able to give some informal help as time permits. By downloading you agree to hold me, Highland Media, the author or any agent of Highland Media harmless of any damages directly or indirectly caused by the use of this or any free script.

| Hardly have we mortals by long toilings extracted from this worlds vast bulk its small but valuable sperm; and then, with weary patience, cleansed ourselves from its defilements, and learned to live here in clean tabernacles of the soul; hardly is this done, whenThar she blows!the ghost is spouted up, and away we sail to fight some other world, and go through young lifes old routine again. |
| ~ Herman Melville (18191891), U.S. author. Moby-Dick (1851), ch. 98, The Writings of Herman Melville, vol. 6, eds. Harrison Hayford, Hershel Parker, and G. Thomas Tanselle (1988). Referring to the quest for sperm oil. ~ |
