In most assignments, you will find that you are quoting others. In a literary essay, you will probably want to quote the work you are discussing, and perhaps a critic, or the author; in an expository essay you may want to include information you have gathered from a book, a film, or a newspaper. Properly used, quotation can add authenticity and variety to your work.
