There was a problem hiding this comment.
In the quotes that are quoting someone, I like it better when the person being quoted is in their own line (see the quote on line 70 for example).
Also, there seems to have been something lost in translation? I'm not sure what the word "indolent" is meant to be here, are there maybe other suggested translations for the original French?

It's an old form of the same french word "indolent" (plural here), It's more of a reference to an easy going life, without trouble and pain, not "lazy" or something similar that can be of a negative connotation of a bad habit.
I could perhaps use the term "indulging" instead in the context, if it "indolent" doesn't seem fitting in English.
NOTE: The work is from 1850 so the use of such expression may have been different.

I see. It still came across as clumsy to me, so I searched and found an English translation of the work (here) and it seems like the quote goes something like "How to forego life’s tender usages, comforts, and indolent well-being?"
This seems to be less about cuddles and more about comfortable habits, so maybe let's leave this one out?

Maybe it is, I focused on the "cuddly" habits after reading the response to comments in the original issue #12 regarding having the word "hug" in all quotes seeming like "compulsory".
But sure, we can skip this one. I'll adjust the PR to it now.
- Sync fork to avoid conflicts from new update - deleted previously added quote from François René de Chateaubriand's Mémoires d’outre-tombe work. (translating old french work isn't easy after all x) - keeping only two newly added quotes to this project (line 87 & 88)

Alright @achasveachas , as requested in the previous review, I dropped the François René's quote. I also sync-ed the repo, since it seems it had new updates so I added the quotes on new lines to avoid merge conflict. |

Thank you for your efforts and patience! I don't have twitter but it was nice contributing to the quote bot! |

No, thank YOU! It's people like you who make it awesome 😊 |
Added 3 quotes, some french ones 👀 (translated the best I could)
