  $max_name_length = 78;
  $authors = quotes_get_authors();
  $author_names = array();
  foreach ($authors as $aid => $name) {

    // Make it safe to display (with no HTML).
    $name = filter_xss($name, array());

    // Limit the length.
    if (drupal_strlen($name) > $max_name_length) {
      $name = drupal_substr($name, 0, $max_name_length - 3) . '...';
    }
    $author_names[$aid] = $name;
  }
  $form['author'] = array(
    '#type' => 'select',
