I'm a self taught high school students trying to make a quote of the day 
website. 
Essentially what I'm trying to do is assign the day of the month equal to a 
quote that I have selected. The code runs just fine. I'll post it on the 
bottom.
Anyway, the disconnect that I'm getting is inputting the application that I 
have written in Python to the a html template. I know that you need to have 
a controller, view and model files all to display the application 
correctly. I have absolutely no idea how to do this.

Thank you so much for your time.

Code: 

    from datetime import date
