    quotes = [
        "Aggression is simply another name for government",
        "Capitalism is at least tolerable, which cannot be said of Socialism or Communism",
        "The moment that justice must be paid for by the victim of injustice it becomes itself injustice",
    ]

    def index(self, request) -> ResponseType.JSON:
        # response converted to JSON (using json.dumps function)
        return self.quotes

    def get(self, request, index: int) -> ResponseType.JSON:
        # @index casted to int type, according to its type annotation
        return {
            "quote": self.quotes[index]
        }

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = Application()

    view = QuotesView()
    view.register(app)

    app.run(("localhost", 8080))
