A TextView is an object or simply said a container, which may hold TEXT and can have various properties (color, width, height, etc). Do you really want to create multiple TextViews or just use the same TextView but change its text on each button click? Please, clarify your question. – Dzhuneyt Jul 18 '13 at 12:45

So you are looking for a way to ADD multiple TextViews and set their text? If you want to do it programmatically (because you may also do it from XML, but it won't be dynamic), you need to use something like this:
TextView tv = new TextView(this);
tv.setText("Your quote text");
this.addView(tv);
Note that you may replace this above with any existing View object, to which you want to add the TextView.

Do you define them in XML before the app is even built? Because in this case you may wrap them in a container like LinearLayout or RelativeLayout, grab an instance of this wrapper programmatically and get all of its views using a technique [like this](http://stackoverflow.com/a/7784472/1514026). – Dzhuneyt Jul 18 '13 at 13:39
