(somewhat) Inspirational Programmer Quotes 08-20-2015, 11:33 AM

I was rudely awakened at around 4 this morning because of a false fire alarm, and knowing me, I couldn't go back to sleep. Running on nothing but coffee and Touhou soundtracks, I made this.
It's not much, just a simple little programmer quote generator. I neglected adding a regenerate button because it makes the whole thing look out of whack(just refresh for a new quote).
Only problem is, I can't seem to get the name of the person quoted on a newline. Help is appreciated.
