 	[ quote, author ]. Kinda sucks that it has to load like (what could be)
 	a huge list every time the page loads but I (like most webdevs) am lazy
 	and It Works How It Is.
+
+	maybe these could be loaded in from a JSON somewhere? i don't wanna do
+	it if it'll drag page loading time down. already need to defer quote
+	generation because the JS is so slow
