A quarter note is the only note held for the duration of a quarter note. A quarter note is held for one beat of music, in a piece that is written with a time signature of anything over 4 such as 3/4, 4/4, 5/4 time ect. A quarter rest is a "beat of silence" in these timings. If the quarter note is in any time signature over 8, such as 3/8, 4/8, 6/8, then it would be held for two beats. Similarly if the quarter note is in a time signature over 2, such as 3/2, 4/2, or 6/2, then you would hold it for half a beat. The time signature is found at the beginning of the piece of music, beside the clefs (treble and bass).

Notes and rests always carry the same value no matter what the time signature. A quarter note or rest is always held for one beat, but depending on how you're counting the time, it may be more than one count (ex. if your beat is in eighth notes, a quarter note is gonna be two counts- "one and, two and, three and..." but if your beat is in quarter notes, it's just gonna be one count- "one, two, three...")
