You're doing it right. You just forgot the period at the end of the sentence. I think they need to provide better error messages for some of these challenges. The error message on this challenge tells you to set the text attribute on quoteLabel even if you're doing it correctly just with the wrong text.

I know it's a little silly that it will not let you pass the challenge because of that, but you would be surprised how many times one little mistake can break an entire app. However, a mistake like this would probably not break your app, but you might want to use copy and paste from now on in the challenges.

random_quote.swift 
class viewController: UIViewController {

    @IBOutlet weak var quoteLabel: UILabel!

    @IBAction func quoteButtonPressed() {
        quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."
    }

}
