Hi Grim, thanks for your post. I'm glad you like the Quote of the Day. This is a great one! Thanks for your contribution.
I should confess that I don't actually update the Quote every day. It is actually just a random quote that gets pulled from a list whenever you refresh the homepage. When I first set up this site, I compiled a list of about 250 of my favorite quotes, then I wrote a little Perl script that randomly picks one and displays it.
If you want, you can peruse the whole list at:

I will add your quote and Oystein's to the list soon.
