Not sure why I can't get this to pass: quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."

I tried checking the forum for creating an iPhone application with Objective-C but could only find answers in creating an iPhone application with Swift...since the forum cuts off the full name you can't see which one you are in until you click on the answers...anyway, my code is attached can't seem to get past this simple 1 step challenge. Thanks! :)

ViewController.h 
#import "UIViewController.h"
#import "UILabel.h"


@interface ViewController: UIViewController

@property (strong, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *quoteLabel;

- (IBAction)quoteButtonPressed;

@end
ViewController.m 
#import "ViewController.h"

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.


}

- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning {
    [super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

- (IBAction)quoteButtonPressed {

 quoteLabel.text = "A stitch in time saves nine."

}

@end

you need to reference the property using self. Also remember that string literals being with @. Dont forget your semicolon

- (IBAction)quoteButtonPressed {

 self.quoteLabel.text = @"A stitch in time saves nine.";

}
