Edit Reason: Added another "personality"
)
Here is the file that should be saved as "personaje.txt" in the same directory as the program:
I'm sorry about the underscores. They are needed to properly align stuff. There are a few websites sharing ASCII art that make do with spaces and tabs in front of lines. The web browsers especially Firefox don't seem to handle them well. More than likely they are stripped, ruining the pictures. Even worse tabs could be found within seen glyphs and deleted as well. I was forced to fix a couple of them while I was testing this program. I didn't provide them because I don't want to be summoned for copyright questions. The pictures I show here are my own. Except the last one where I tried to copy the dolphin I found in another topic here.
Lynx text-mode browser can't handle the ASCII art blocks well if they are graphics containers. The lines of the art have to be "listed".
The pictures aren't conventional ASCII art, the letters are actually colored pixels for some other program I wrote. The first picture actually serves as my avatar somewhere else.
Note that each picture is allowed to exist as is, but has to be separated from one another with the three dashes on a line by itself and not decorated by anything else.
This other text file has the quotations. Save as "personajq.txt" in the same directory as the executable and the above text file:
What is starting with "only" and ending with "artist" is supposed to be a single line. I could have made that last line even longer, to better test how big the balloon could be drawn LOL.
One of you could test the program further by providing "say" parameter to the user program. Then the program asks what the personality (picked at random by the computer) should say. Otherwise write it with a word processor or text editor and save it as "personaje1.txt" in the same directory as this program being showcased. Then at the prompt in this program just enter a "c" (small-case with no double-quotation marks). Otherwise on Windows this program could be changed so it also accepts text copied from the clipboard.
If you create a text-file picture, name it whatever you want but save it in the same directory as the program, because this program doesn't invoke an open file requester. Then the parameter at the command line could be "pers" to have it say something from the original quotes file, or "both" to also have it say something else that is provided on demand.

Hello I am a QB64 programmer. But I'm not a good one!
I don't have to know any mathematics to know how to program!
The weather is clear away from the terminal, isn't it?
Quick, tell me how to pronounce "mnrvovrfc".
Look here, at the boring terminal that isn't a lot different from MS-DOS.
How do you draw a real pig anyhow?
Tell me how to reach Albuquerque. Do not tell me to take a left turn!
Hey I wonder when the green-named moderator returns to us, I miss his jokes, I laughed at every single one of them.
This is a demonstration of a program that was written hastily but was supposed to produce some laughter.
Only if the graphics were done with GIMP or one of those payware fancy programs, I could get your attention better. We must compromise, because the author of this program isn't patient enough and also isn't a good artist.What is starting with "only" and ending with "artist" is supposed to be a single line. I could have made that last line even longer, to better test how big the balloon could be drawn LOL.
