Improve Quote Quality and Variety

Regarding quality, I mean ensuring that quotes are complete sentences that convey a full thought. Currently, at an average typing speed (50-60 WPM), the quotes are often long enough to form good sentences, but they are frequently cut off at random points or even at the very beginning of a sentence. This results in quotes that start abruptly, making it difficult to understand their meaning. 

As for variety, it's pretty straightforward. I've been actively playing for about a week and completed 2,500 races, yet I often encounter the same lines of text repeatedly, despite not doing an excessive number of races. This issue is closely related to the first part of my suggestion because with a greater variety of quotes, it would be possible to select more appropriate quotes for different speed levels, catering to all types of players.   

I would even argue that enhancing the variety and meaningfulness of quotes is more important than maintaining consistency of time per race. I notice that many quotes attempt to convey something interesting about the world, but they almost always fall short due to being poorly structured or excessively shortened.

To build on my previous points, I believe that by addressing both the quality and variety of quotes, the overall experience for players would be significantly enhanced. The quotes would not only be more engaging and thought-provoking but also less repetitive, which would keep players more interested over time.

Additionally, implementing a wider range of quotes could help maintain the educational aspect of the game, making it not just about speed but also about learning and reflecting on interesting ideas. This could also be a way to introduce players to new authors, topics, and perspectives they might not have encountered otherwise.

In summary, refining the selection of quotes to ensure they are complete, meaningful, and varied would not only improve the gameplay experience but also add depth to the learning component of Nitrotype. By doing so, players would be more likely to stay engaged, motivated, and challenged as they continue to improve their typing skills.
