Sad quotes, when you are depressed! [[APP]]

[Shackles]

Hello there ! You might not have seen me before since i'm new.
Im also new to LUA, and as a new you find it very boring to sit on your .. and read a book about it, so i decided to make an application for my zen. It randomly picks a quote from a selection of (10) quotes and prints it to the screen. To get a new one you have to tap the screen.
It is mostly for the days when you feel depressed.

Cute. And also, for help with the traffic jam game you should create a new dev-thread for it. So we keep discussions about different apps separated.

Yea ofcourse, use it for anything you like
Also the main file is outdated, copy paste this pastebin into the main.lua file to update it

The error is here:

Line 74: quote51 = ""I told my wife that a man is like a fine wine..."
Line 89: quote63 = ""What's the matter? Are you sick?" he asked. "

Line 74 contains one quote sign too many, and line 89 contains two quote signs too many.

It should be like this:

Line 74: quote51 = "I told my wife that a man is like a fine wine..."
Line 89: quote63 = "What's the matter? Are you sick? he asked. "

A string begins and ends with a quote ("). If you have more quotes it will confuse the interpreter and give errors. The text-editor Notepad++ adds colours to quoted lines (strings) so you will see such errors more easily.

Side note: If you still want to have the quotes on the display, you should add "\" in front of the quote.
Then it would be like this:

Line 74: quote51 = "\"I told my wife that a man is like a fine wine..."
Line 89: quote63 = "\"What's the matter? Are you sick?\" he asked. "

By the way, nice idea to make an app with fun quotes
