Is there a legal ´thing´ that makes a quote legally binding. What I mean is, if they quote me in February for example, do they have to stick to the same price in April, they can´t just suddenly raise the price?

I want to use a quote that the author of one of my sources for my paper used, but my question is whether I need to cite the book or the essay that I found the quote in. Does this make sense? I’ve looked all over the internet for the answer, but I can’t find it.

Thanks.

Our teacher went over this in class, but on the overhead so we didn’t actually get a hand out. And of course it’s time for me to finish my essay but I can’t remember the proper way to quote.

I know we have to end with the author’s name and the page number in brackets. But there was something about big quotes being indented and on a different line.

Does anyone know the proper way to do both long and short quotes?

I am writing my college application essays and I want to use a quote from Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead that I found on the web. I have read the book, but do not have it with me. I am not sure how to cite it besides indicating in the actual essay where the quote comes from. Do I need to put an annotation at the end in MLA format? If so, how I do that without the book? How am I supposed to figure out which page or even chapter the quote came from?

I’m looking for the full original quote of this phrase. I thought it might be in the King James version of the Bible, in the Jonah story, but it isn’t there.
Dov’s answer was excellent, thank you.

However, I did find two additional earlier sources, one verified, the other only reported. The first is Ben Jonson from "Batholomew Fair" (1614): "What do you say to a drum, sir? It is the broken belly of the beast, and thy bellows there are his lungs, and these pipes are his throat, those feathers are of his tail, and thy rattles the gnashing of his teeth". The second source is "The Vision of Tundale" (1149) a poem by Marcus, an Irish Benedictine monk, who is *said* to have used it, but all the translations from the latin I could find are in Old English, and so I can’t verify the report. I also haven’t included these two sources’ URL’s, as I found them at the research Dept. of the LA Public Library.

Here in Boston it will be, and I quote: We’re just looking at a miserable wet, windy, cool, raw weekend.

And the temps will be in the 40s instead of the 60s like they should be.

We should also get an inch of rain.

Gargoyles will also attack us at midnight.

I hope the weekend will be better where you are from.

I was with the same insurance company for 10 years using the same local agent. My car insurance rates kept going up every time my policy was renewed. I decided to explore and see what better rates I could get with other car insurance companies. Friends and family gave me names of local agents from insurance companies they used. All the agents quoted me really high. Then, I called a major insurance company’s 800 number (not through an agent) and got the lowest quote. So, why do people use insurance agents? Is there a reason why it’s better to use an agent?
