Should you start a sentence with a quotation and why?
I don't know if you're asking if quotation marks should be used to begin a sentence or if you're asking if a sentence should be started with a quote from an outside source. So I will answer both. Quotation marks may begin a sentence at any time necessary. While writing essays, in my experience, professors like a little introduction before a quote. But there's no rule saying you can't. Maybe in the sentence before the quote you write an explanation then end the sentence and start the next with a quote. But you could most times use a colon instead of ending the sentence and then the quote would still be within the first sentence.

How many spacing should be after a quotation marks?
Typically, there should be one space after quotation marks when they are followed by a sentence or word. This is standard in most style guides, including APA and MLA. However, if the quotation ends a sentence and is followed by another sentence, you would still use just one space after the closing quotation mark.
Should a colon should be used when you join two sentences and the second sentence is a quotation?
Yes, a colon can be used before a quotation if the preceding sentence is an independent clause that sets up the quotation. For example: She said this about the project: "We need to focus on quality." However, if the quotation is integrated into the sentence without being preceded by an independent clause, a colon is not necessary.
