Quotes Database

A repository which contains (will contain) a lot of quotes. Feel free to add any famous or inspirational quotes you know, that do not already exist. The quotes will be used in some projects I am currently working on, but feel free to use them them yourself.

Quotes API

The quotes database now has an API! All responses are in a JSON format.

Examples
