Quotes work best when used with short sentences, and at the start or end of a section, as a hint of or to help emphasize the section's content.
For typical quotes, especially those longer than the rest of the paragraph in which they are quoted, {{Cquote}} (for use outside of article space only) provides a borderless quote with decorative quotation marks, and {{Quote frame}} provides a bordered quote. Both span the page width.
For very short quotes, {{Rquote}} (with decorative quotation marks, for use outside of article space only) or {{Quote box}} (framed) can be used to set the quote off to either the right or left as in a magazine sidebar. This can be effective on essay pages and WikiProject homepages.

Usage
Compatibility warning: This template uses Template:Para for the italicized title of a major work, not for a heading above the quotation as some other templates do.
This template provides a quotation in a bordered box, on a light grey background, and spanning the page width by default. Do not put quotation marks around the quoted material.

{{Quote frame/doc |quote=Quoted material |author=Author |title=Title}}
{{Quote frame/doc|Quoted material|Author|Title}}
The Template:Para parameter takes any valid CSS width value, such as 33% or 25em. This should not be specified in fixed pixel sizes (like 100px). As shown in the table above, the width is relative to the size of the container not the entire page, so the displayed width will be smaller if used inside a table.

If any of the parameters' content include an equal sign (=) in its input, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly unless:
The parameters are named or numbered:
{{Quote frame/doc|quote=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. |author=Abdul Kalam}} {{Quote frame/doc|1=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere.

Bugs
As of 28 November 2015[update] using {{quote frame}} in a discussion that will later be archived with {{archive top}} and {{archive bottom}} will cause problems if the line in which the template is used in is intended with colons. In other words, avoid doing this if you expect the discussion to be archived using the "archive top" and "archive bottom" templates:
:{{quote frame|quoted material}}
Example of bug:
{{archive top}}
Some text here.
:{{quote frame|quoted text}}

{{archive bottom}}
{{Quote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br/>); requires substitution
{{Quote}} variant for use with poems, song lyrics, and other things that would otherwise require the use of <poem> tags or frequent formatting elements (such as <br/>); does not require substitution
To indent an entire block of content (uses <div> and CSS margins)
The Template:Para parameter takes any valid CSS width value, such as 33% or 25em. This should not be specified in fixed pixel sizes (like 100px). As shown in the table above, the width is relative to the size of the container not the entire page, so the displayed width will be smaller if used inside a table.
The equal sign (=)
If any of the parameters' content include an equal sign (=) in its input, this will make the template not recognize the parameter properly unless:
The parameters are named or numbered:
{{Quote frame/doc|quote=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. |author=Abdul Kalam}} {{Quote frame/doc|1=Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. |2=Abdul Kalam}}
The = in the content is escaped with the {{}} template:
{{Quote frame/doc|Einstein's equation, E{{=}}mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it.|Abdul Kalam}}
The = in the content is escaped with the = character reference:
{{Quote frame/doc|Einstein's equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it.|Abdul Kalam}}
