Write and Read a Quote Using Python
Level: Beginner
Your task for today is to write a Python program that saves a quote entered by the user and then reads it back from a file. This simple project introduces you to basic file input/output — a key Python skill used in everything from logging to data processing.
📝 Project Task
The program should:
Ask the user to input their favorite quote.
Save the quote to a
.txtfile (e.g.quote.txt).Read the quote back from the file.
Print the retrieved quote.
This is a gentle and practical introduction to working with text files in Python — one of the most common tasks in everyday scripting and automation.
When you run the program, it should:
Prompt the user for a quote.
Write the quote to a file.
Read the content of that file.
Display the quote back to the user.
Example:
What is your favorite quote? Stay hungry, stay foolish.
Saved and loaded quote: Stay hungry, stay foolish.
