| | Quotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Quotations are used for a variety of reasons: to enrich, illuminate the meaning or support the arguments of the work in which it is being quoted, to pay homage to the original work or author, to make the user of the quotation seem well-read and even to ridicule the original author. | | | 'Beautiful' quotations are words remembered for their aesthetically pleasing use of language, whereas many other quotations are remembered because they are thought to express some universal truth. | | | Chiefly for reference and accuracy, famous quotations are frequently collected in books that are sometimes called quotation dictionaries or treasuries. |

| | Quotation mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | When a quotation is followed by other writing on a line of text, a space follows the closing quotation mark unless it is immediately followed by other punctuation within the sentence, such as a colon or closing punctuation. | | | The use of English quotation marks is increasing in French, and usually follows English rules. | | | Sometimes, quotations are nested in more levels than inner and outer quotation. |

| | Besides, long quotations often contain material that is not necessary for the writer to make his or her point. | | | The quotation marks you use around words indicate to readers that everything within those quotations marks appears in your writing exactly the same as it appears in the source you are quoting. | | | Make the quotation a part of your own sentence without any punctuation between your own words and the words you are quoting. |

| | The Nuts and Bolts of College Writing |
| | There are two main problems of clarity in using quotations: (1) Distinguishing your own argument from the arguments of various quoted passages; and (2) making sure the reader understands what a quotation is expected to accomplish. | | | Second, the writer uses the quotation's shortness and simplicity as a springboard to her own more complex sentences and diction. | | | Ellipsis is a fancy word meaning leaving out some of the words in a quotation. |

| | Quotation Marks |
| | Indirect quotations are not exact words but rather rephrasings or summaries of another person's words. | | | Direct quotations are another person's exact words--either spoken or in print--incorporated into your own writing. | | | If the quotation is interrupted and then continues in your sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation. |

| | Quotation |
| | A quotation is employed as support and therefore should be preceded by the idea that it is intended to support and followed by analysis or commentary that shows clearly its function in your explanation or illustration. | | | Never use quotation as a substitution for what you want to say. | | | When you add a citation to a quotation, the period or comma comes AFTER the closing parenthesis. |

| | Using Quotations in Your Essay; L. Boyd, Winter 1996 |
| | This quotation is technically correct (notice also the correct use of single quotation marks for dialogue), but three changes within such a short quotation render it a bit awkward. | | | To integrate a quotation properly within a paragraph, a good writer usually writes one sentence to introduce the quotation, a second sentence that includes the quotation, and a third sentence to comment on the significance of the quotation. | | | One way is just to paraphrase it (to paraphrase is to restate someone else's words in your own words, without quotation marks): |
