Simple text-only quote of the day from http://www.brainyquote.com/.
I found the site providing quality quotes for a while now.

Quote script:

curl http://feeds.feedburner.com/brainyquote/QUOTEBR | grep -m 3 description | sed -e 's/(.*)//' -e 's/.*//' | sed -e 's/(.*Quote of the Day from BrainyQuote.com)//' | sed -e 's/(.*logo)//'

Author script:

curl http://feeds.feedburner.com/brainyquote/QUOTEBR | grep -m 3 title | sed -e 's/(.*)//' -e 's/.*//' | sed -e 's/(.*Quote of the Day)//'

This can be customized to work on any background.

Cheers.

Neither of the scripts work?

This is a fix but I suck at bash, so it probably could be improved:

curl -s http://feeds.feedburner.com/brainyquote/QUOTEBR | grep -m 3 description | sed -e 's/(.*Quote of the Day from BrainyQuote.com)//p' | sed -e 's/(.*logo)//' | sed '1,2d' | sed -e 's/]*>//g'
