When you are using a direct quote from literature in a paper, you leave it as it is; such as not capitalizing it if it isn't capitalized, or leaving whatever punctuation in the quote thereeven if it doesn't technically make sense.

You should only capitalize the first word in a quotation if you are quoting from the start of a line, or if the first word is a name.

However, "capitalize the first word of a quotation..." does not start at the beginning of the sentence, so it doesn't need to be capitalized.
