/**
 * mental.cpp
 * This program prints a random quote that promotes mental health or that I 
 * just like in general. It is intended to be added a shells .*rc file so that 
 * it can run whenever a new shell is opened. The quotes are retrieved from a 
 * text file in your home directory called ".quotes" and the format of the 
 * quotes is seen bellow.
 *
 * Syntax: Name - "Quote"
