Show quote on R start-up

To show quote on R start-up, you will need a special function ot the .Rprofile file. The easiest way to access the .Rprofile is to use

usethis::edit_r_profile()

In the .Rprofile file add below to get a quotation for every start-up.

.First <- function() {
  quoter::decorate(quoter::quotes())
}
