	Quotation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These latter quotations are often called maxims or aphorisms and they are highly regarded for being pithy renderings of ideas that most people have but most have not been able to express so clearly.
		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.
		Quotations are also popular as a user's personal message, a line under the user's nickname in some Instant Messaging clients (and here they often go uncited).

	Quotation mark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Quotation marks, also called quotes or inverted commas, are punctuation marks used in pairs to set off speech, a quotation, or a phrase.
		Quotation marks are used for multiple-paragraph quotations in some cases, especially in narratives.
		Quotation marks are used to offset a nickname embedded in an actual name, or a false or ironic title embedded in an actual title; for example, Jennifer “J-Lo” Lopez.

	Moore's Use of Quotation in "Marriage" and "An Octopus"
		It is easier for the relations between many quotations and the rest of the text to have a similar texture than it is for the voices of the quotations themselves all to have the same sound.
		The problem with such a reading, of course, lies in its failure to recognize the quotations as an apt means both of expressing precisely those difficulties met by women poets and of critiquing the standard methods of authority that assert self-reliance by denying the assistance of other texts.
		Quotations offer her this opportunity both literally, in allowing her to recycle used material, and metaphorically, in giving her an original way to write poetry.

	Quotation
		Quotation is a device for talking about language, but it does so in a particularly tricky way: somehow quotation manages to uses its referent to do (or at least to participate in) the referring; the referent of “Aristotle” is part of “Aristotle”.
		Utterances of quotation marks, by virtue of having a demonstrative/indexical ingredient, refer to the expression instantiated by the demonstrated token, i.e., the expression instantiated by the token that in surface syntax sits between the quotation marks.
		The quotation as a whole is analyzed into the marks that signify quotational use of the quoted expression and the quoted expression itself used to mention an object.

	Web Handouts: Integrating and Using Quotations Properly
		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.
		It's all right to delete material from a quotation, as long as the deleted material is not vital to the meaning of the quotation and as long as the quoted words convey the same meaning as they do in the source.
		The entire quotation should be indented 10 spaces from the left (usually two tabs); the right margins do not change from what they are in the rest of your paper.

		Further, the way these quotations are presented precludes their being indexed by Internet search engines, which limits the sense in which any quotation is "published".

		Usually, a quotation is set off from the rest of the sentence by a comma; however, the typography of quoted material can become quite complicated.
		When quoted dialogue carries from one paragraph to another (and to another and another), the closing quotation mark does not appear until the quoted language finally ends (although there is a beginning quotation mark at the start of each new quoted paragraph to remind the reader that this is quoted language).
		Quotation marks used around words to give special effect or to indicate irony are usually unnecessary.

		The quotation marks around “intellectuals” indicate that the writer believes that these are in fact so-called intellectuals, not real intellectuals at all.
		The ironic use of quotation marks is very much overdone, and is usually a sign of laziness indicating that the writer has not bothered to find the precise word or expression necessary.
		Single quotation marks are also used in linguistic, phonetic, and philosophical studies to surround words and phrases under discussion; but the common practice of using single quotation marks for short phrases and words and double ones for complete sentences is otherwise an error.
