I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but I have a javascript that basically calls up random quotes from an array. I need to edit the quotes as the client wants different ones. I have been trying to learn a little of this through W3schools and I understand that words that have apostrophes or are surrounded by quotes need to have backslashes to keep the javascript from executing something I don't want it to, but what I am wondering about is some of the quotes supplied to me have the authors name preceded by ~ will that mess things up, should I either remove it or replace it?

Any help that anyone can give me with this will be much appreciated, and again I apologize if this is the wrong place for this question.
