No. You should use italics (where possible) for poems, books, movies, or plays, and "quotation marks" around article titles or chapter names.
Yes, you should always capitalize the first letter of a direct quote. Do not forget to include quotation marks before and after the quote either.
Not necessarily, if it is the start of a sentence or if it is a word that is usually capitalised, you would. But if it is a quote and you start say in the middle of the sentence then you don't.
Yes, the first letter of the first word following closing quotation marks should typically be capitalized.

Capitalize the first letter of a quotation when the quotation is a complete sentence or directly follows a colon. If the quotation is in the middle of a sentence and does not stand alone as a complete thought, the first letter is not capitalized.
If you have a letter after after quotation marks and things like that, it should be capitalized, even if it's in the middle of the sentence. It isolates what the person is about to say in a sentence. All sentences begin with a capitol letter. So, you should capitalize letters after quotes and such.
Quotation maybe? Quotation maybe?
...a complete sentence on its own. If the direct quotation is integrated into the sentence and not a standalone sentence, then the first letter does not need to be capitalized.
No, they are always used before.Examples:Beginning Quotation: "Tonight, we will eat pizza," I said.Ending Quotation: I said, "Tonight, we will eat pizza."Broken Quotation: "Tonight," I said, "we will eat pizza."See how in each sentence, the comma was always before the quotation marks?
The speech was full of quotations from Abraham Lincoln's letter.
Zero times you just put it right after the last letter then make a comma if its not the last letter of the sentence but if it is just put the pierod exct. inside the quotation mark.
