Integrating Quotations into Your Essay "By necessity, by proclivity, and by delight, we all quote." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

When to Use Quotations Use quotations to serve as examples of your main points and observations. Choose only important material that effectively supports your point. Remember that a quotation by itself has little significance. It needs your commentary to provide context and meaning. In general, your commentary on anything you quote should be longer than the quotation itself. Choose quotations that provide significant information about character or the author's main idea rather than quotations that simply advance the plot.

When to Use Quotations Select quotations carefully and purposefully for a research paper or for literary analysis: to illustrate or explain an opinion or idea to assert a fact to provide authority for an assertion you have made to provide a focal point to show many opinions Choose quotations that provide significant information about character or the author’s main idea rather than quotations that simply advance the plot.

How to Integrate Quotations Sprinkle your discussion with key phrases and terms, which should be surrounded with quotations marks. Knight views the symbolism in Jones' play as a "creation and destruction pattern" (Knight). Note that this is a quote from a line of poetry. Owens was a poet who lived in the early 1900s. When quoting poetry, just give the line numbers in parentheses after you have established that the numerals in the parentheses refer to lines rather than to pages.

How to Integrate Quotations Use an indirect statement with "that.“ Notice the punctuation. Margaret Mead feels that "the use of marriage contracts may reduce the divorce rate" (Mead). As the lead-in, use the author’s name along with a quote.

How to Integrate Quotations Use a complete sentence lead-in. Follow with a colon and two spaces before the quotation. Edith Hamilton describes Hera perfectly: "She was the protector of marriage, and married women were her particular care" (223). Again the main character hears the words spoken by his grandfather: "I never told you, but our life is a war" (154). Notice the punctuation and citation. We will discuss that in a few minutes.

How to Integrate Quotations Use an introductory phrase or clause with a comma. According to Wally Lamb, “The workshop sessions have been a journey rich with laughter, tears, heart-stopping leaps of faith, and miraculous personal victories" (Lamb).
