remoteFile
External file from which to load the quotes Possible values: Path or URL (starting with http:// or https://) to a JSON file containing an array of quotes, configured as per the External Quotes File (see below). Set to null to use the quotes config array. Default value: MMM-CloneWarsQuotes.json

Quote Configuration
The quotes property contains an array of strings. The array contains one or multiple quotes.
Default configuration:
config: {
quotes: [],
remoteFile: 'MMM-CloneWarsQuotes.json',
classes: 'light blue medium large',
updateInterval: 27000,
fadeSpeed: 4000,
random: true
}
External Quotes File
You may specify an external file that contains the quotes arrays. This is particularly useful if you have a large number of quotes and do not wish to crowd your config.js file with a large array of quotes. Adding the remoteFile variable will override an array you specify in the configuration file. Set to null to use the quotes config array.
This file must be straight JSON.
Example quotes.json file:
[
"Great leaders inspire greatness in others.",
"Belief is not a matter of choice, but conviction.",
"Easy is the path to wisdom for those who are not blinded by themselves.",
...
]
