Excellent work! I think you will find a couple of comments which I've added quite useful.

excellent use of negation! 🥳 Instead of writing unnecessary expressions such as if(term === undefined) with negation, we as devs can really shorten the if expressions and make it really understandable for other devs looking at it!
server.js
Outdated

Excellent work! As an extra layer of security and with the idea of minimising the amount of bugs in our backend and in our codebase in general, we can always think of adding an extra layer of protection.
For instance, whenever you send a response, it's generally a good idea to add a check that our response came back with a code 200, which means that the request is successful (you can read more on http status codes here).
If you are using express.js v4 and higher, you can simply add this line:
response.status(200).json(quotes);
This will check that if the response is 200, only after it will send the quotes json 😊
Otherwise, overall, excellent work!

Thank you so much for the review, Giorgi. I truly appreciate your valuable feedback, and I have integrated your recommendations to improve my code.
