Random Quote

Random Quote returns an inspirational quotation at random from a small built-in set, each line credited to its author. Run it and you get something from someone like Steve Jobs, Linus Torvalds or Alan Kay — the sort of line people pin above a desk or open a presentation with.

The set is small and fixed at five quotations, so it is a quick source rather than a searchable archive. There is no way to request a particular author or theme and no input field to fill in; each run simply draws one line from the same short list. Because the draws are independent, the same quotation can appear twice in a row.

If you want something different, the neighbouring Random Fact and Random Joke tools follow the same pattern with their own small collections. Nothing about the tool reaches the network — the pick is made locally in the browser.

What is not available around the quotation matches the joke tool. There is no search by keyword, no filter by author, theme, era or length, and no list view that would show the whole set at once so you could choose deliberately rather than by chance. The attribution cannot be copied on its own — the line and the author come back together as one block — and there is no way to request several quotations in a single run, no rating or bookmarking, and no source link to the fuller text a quotation may have been taken from. Because every draw is independent and nothing is remembered between runs, gathering a set of distinct quotations means running it repeatedly and checking by eye for repeats.
