Yes, of course a quotation from a book, article or document can be longer than one sentence. After all, sentences vary in length. Please bear in mind that any quotation needs to long enough (and no longer than necessary) to illustrate or support the point you are making. In reports, assignments and so on, quotations of more than (say) two lines should be indented and treated as paragraphs. Obviously, you should not write a report that consists mainly of quotations with the occasional line of commentary.

Can a quote in an essay be more that one sentence?

The rule has been that for quotes of three lines or fewer you set the quote in quotation marks ("<quote>"). If you need to quote more than three lines you indent the block of text. There is no stylistic prohibition on quoting more than a single sentence in an essay, but you may encounter that restriction levied by English teachers who don't want entire pages of quoted material glued together with poorly thought-out padding.
