Long Quotations
Quotations of more than three lines of verse, or four lines of
typed prose, should be set off from the text, indented on left
and right margins, and should not be enclosed in quotation marks. End the sentence in your text
that comes immediately before the quotation with a colon. Be careful
to retain the punctuation of the material you're quoting.
