If the quote is five lines or less you must use quotation marks. For direct quotes of more than five lines you must set them apart from your text by indenting five spaces on the right and five spaces on the left. This is called a block quote. When you quote or paraphrase the words of the author you must give credit to the author in footnotes or a bibliography. Words in quotes or paraphrases are not counted as a part of the total word count of your essay.
