Who uses quotations?
Use quotations sparingly. You use a quotation when you want to highlight the words themselves.
Make sure that quotations flow with your text.
It might be helpful for you to use quotations when you are addressing contrary views. This way it becomes clear that you are not distorting your opponents’ arguments.

6. Quoting, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
Do not begin or end paragraphs with quotations.
Quotations should flow with your own text.
You should introduce quotations before the quotation marks and provide additional commentary in the sentence or sentences after the quotation marks.
