Get only the Quote

Sometimes you may not be interested in getting a dataframe that has ID and link, so this function randquote_simple() outputs only the quote with author name.

library(randquotes)

cat(randquotes::randquote_simple())

## When is the last time you saw a Lamborghini sale?
## -Chris Campbell
