| | Quotation Marks |
 | | If the quotation is interrupted and then continues in your sentence, do not capitalize the second part of the quotation. |
 | | A quotation that extends more than four typed lines on a page should be indented one inch from the left margin (the equivalent of two half-inch paragraph indentations). |
 | | Use a comma to introduce a quotation after a standard dialogue tag, a brief introductory phrase, or a dependent clause, for example, "He asked," "She stated," "According to Bronson," or "As Shakespeare wrote." Use a colon to introduce a quotation after an independent clause. |
