How do we concatenate using blade template engine Laravel

I am new to Laravel and don't know if it is possible at all to concatenate a string to a blade variable.

I want to display the name of the author with the ~ sign concatenated to the author's name from the left. Here is my code.

<div class="author">~{{ $quote->author or '' }}</div>

What I want is if the author is set, it should be displayed with the ~. How do I concatenate this? Thanks for any help

This would be better

<div class="author">~{{ isset($quote->author) ? $quote->author : '' }}</div>

UPDATE:

<div class="author">{{ isset($quote->author) ? '~'.$quote->author : '' }}</div>

<div class="author">
    @if (isset($quote->author))
     ~ {{ $quote->author }}
    @else 
    @endif
</div>
