Yeah, I know.
Pretty Cool, right?
But ya know what would even be cooler?
Yeah, I know.
You probably haven't even done that yet, so you don't even know that you can Save, not only your "Favorite Wallpapers", but you can also Save your "Favorite Quotes" when you see them, after running the above script. Of course, it doesn't save them in a very presentable format, nor would a normie know where to go to find said favorite quotes, so I wrote a simple shell script using `sed` that will slap an updated `favorite_quotes.txt` file in your Home Folder and also Print it out in Terminal every time you run it in a Linux Terminal of your choice.''ENJOY!
(Be sure to place this Script in Your PATH and make it executable. `chmod +x fave_quotes.sh` )
(I usually keep all my scripts in a hidden folder in Home called `~/.bin`, but you do you!)
