Do you mean, how many times did Shakespeare quote from others? Shakespeare borrowed great chunks of material from his sources (Holinshed, Plutarch) but he usually paraphrased them. It is difficult to know whether to call something like "Et tu, Brute?" a quote or not. (It comes straight from Plutarch)
If you mean, how many quotes come from Shakespeare, the answer is, as many as you like. You could quote the whole body of his work, and that would be a long quote from Shakespeare. You could quote one word, and that would be a short quote. "To be or not to be" could be a quote, and "To be, or not to be, that is the question" could be another one.
Quotation is a small piece of somebody's more complex speech or writing. William Shakespere wrote many dramas and we, readers, are taking some sentences out of his works and share them as citations or maxims. So, quantity of Shakespere's quotations depends on how many 'pieces' of his dramas we appreciate.
