Blockquote
A good quote is like a well-timed assist in basketball—it brings someone else’s brilliance into play exactly when you need it. Blockquotes give voice and weight to borrowed wisdom, letting other people’s words do the heavy lifting while you focus on connecting the dots.
The quote is a strange literary device. It allows us to borrow authority we haven’t earned, to dress our modest thoughts in borrowed finery.
Yet there’s honesty in the quote, too. It admits that all our ideas are built on foundations laid by others. Every writer is, in some sense, a plagiarist—not by theft, but by inheritance.
Jorge Luis Borges, “The Library of Babel and Other Essays”
In Rare Styles, <blockquote> are set apart with comfortable margins and a subtle background treatment—enough to signal “this is someone else talking” without turning your page into a ransom note made of clippings. Citations are handled through the <cite> element, because proper attribution is the difference between scholarship and plagiarism, and we prefer the former.
