wikiquote-cli's Issues

Add local database/cache

It'd be nice to have a way to locally cache certain API responses, especially for actions like random, so they can be fast enough to use on terminal startup, etc.

allow passing the language option

to allow fetching quotes from foreign languages. e.g.:

wikiquote random "I_Simpson" --language it
# will fetch from https://it.wikiquote.org/wiki/I_Simpson
