Long quotes without boxes seem to get cut off rather than wrapped

The one about lion taming by Glyn Williams, for example.

Startify doesn't force a value for 'wrap', because that's really a matter of taste.

If you want it done only for the Startify buffer, use this:

autocmd User Startified setlocal wrap

Another possibility would be doing something similar to what startify#fortune#boxed() does:

function! Yay()
  let textwidth = &textwidth ? &textwidth : 50
  let wrapped_lines = []
  for line in startify#fortune#quote()
    let wrapped_lines += split(line, '\%'.textwidth.'c.\{-}\zs\s', 1)
  endfor
  return map(wrapped_lines, '"   ". v:val')
endfunction

let g:startify_custom_header = 'Yay()'

I went with the first.
