Put quotes around the phrase or sentence, indent if it is a substantial quote, and provide documentation in a footnote or end-note depending on the type of paper you are writing and the conventions of style that you are using. Check notes on the style that you are required to follow. Make sure that you provide your documentation completely and honestly, and don't use substantial quotes without indicating that they are quotes in an attempt to make them look like your original work. It is too easy today to check for that, even if you change a few words here and there to hide your trail. If by chance you intend to have an academic/professional career, the habit of plagiarism will do you in.

When quoting a writer, ensure that the quote is accurate, properly attributed to the author, and cited according to the appropriate citation style. It is important to maintain the integrity of the author's original words and provide proper credit for their work.

Typically, you would want to cite the original writer for your essay, but if you have to quote someone quoting someone else, use a single quotation to indicate the second person's text.

You cite a quotation on the computer by tapping the dial on your computer at the beginning of what you want the quote then at the end!

By putting the quotes in parenthesis and including the author's name in a Works Cited list at the end of your manuscript or in a footnote on the page with the quote.
