It was fairly challenging because I wanted to use a browser to show the quotes, but then I changed back to using only node to run the script. I spent about 6 hours on this. The link:

abenteuerzeit/MessageGenerator/blob/master/script.js

const fs = require('fs');

function newQuote(){
    const q = getRandomQuote();
    console.log(q);
    return document.getElementById("quoteDisplay").innerHTML = `<p class='quote' id=${q.id};> ${q.quote} </p> <p class='author'> ${q.author} </p> <p class='role'> ${q.about} </p>`;
}

const newQuote = newQuote();

function loadQuotes() {
    const filepath = "./src/quotes.txt";
    const data = fs.readFileSync(filepath, "utf8").split('\r\n');
    const quotes = [];
    for (let i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
        const quoteData = data[i].split("\n");
        const element = quoteData[0].split("|");
        const quote = {
            id: element[0],
            author: element[1],
