Here's a quick look at what that would look like:

<?php
function print_for_js($array, $arrName = "array"){
	if(!is_array($array)) return false;

	$js_array = "var $arrName = [";
	foreach($array as $key => $value){
		$js_array .= '"' . addslashes($value) . '",';
	}
	$js_array = substr($js_array, 0, strlen($js_array)-1) . "];";

	return $js_array;
}
$quotes = explode("\n", file_get_contents("quotes.txt"));
?>

<div id="quotes"></div>

<script type="text/javascript">
<?php
echo print_for_js($quotes, "quotes");
?>
function changeQuote(){
	document.getElementById("quotes").innerHTML = quotes[Math.floor(Math.random()*quotes.length)];
	setTimeout(function(){ changeQuote(); }, 1000)
}
changeQuote();
</script>
