Quoting Caveats Continued

Quotation marks

  • An especially long quote should be written according to the same rules as shorter quotes, except instead of setting the passage off with quotation marks, set it off by indenting and spacing it according to the citation style guide you are asked to use.
  • After quoting, explain how the statement is signifcant to your argument.
  • If you are quoting a quotation cited within a secondary source, and do not have access to the original document, introduce the quotation with the following, or a similar, phrase: "as quoted in ..." And never cite a source that you have not directly consulted.
