Why not just make cron (once a day) read the quotes file, pick a
random line, write the quote to a file called quoteoftheday.php, then
just include() that file into your page?
Unless you're running this one a windows machine.. in that case you
might be able to do the same thing with some scheduler instead of
cron, I'm not sure.
