// Programming notes:
//
// Enter all new quotes into the above list, incrementing the index as shown.
//
// Adding a tab creates a new line. The last tab (new line) will be 
// aligned right (i.e. interpreted as quotation's author).  This
// feature was added specifically for poetry, when timing if new
// lines is important; otherwise, only add a tab to add the author's
// name.
//
// If the quote itself contains double quotes, enter these as \"
// (i.e. quote[7] = "He said \"Bye,\" and left."  translates to
//                    He said "Bye," and left.)
