Quote

Quotes are something someone said, often with a citation.

Considerations

A <blockquote> element contains the actual quote. To associate the quote with its source, use a <figcaption> inside a <figure> element. The <cite> element should not be used for quotes.

Examples

  <blockquote>
    <p>
      Code less, question more. Some of the most experienced developers I know
      ask a lot of questions before begining to work on a feature. This often
      leads to a simpler implementation, or sometimes, no implementation at all
      since the questioning revealed more research was needed.

    <p>
      I find that this “question first” mindset is helpful in other areas of
      consulting, and life as well. It provides an opportunity for others to
      share their ideas and feel heard.
