# Quotes Quotes are useful when you want to include something from another source. Start a quote by typing `>` followed by pressing `Space` in an empty paragraph, or use the[ insert palette](/docs/creating-content/blocks.md#inserting-a-new-content-block). You can also convert a paragraph block to a quote by highlighting the entire paragraph and hitting `>`. ### Example of a quote > "No human ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same human." — *Heraclitus* ### Representation in Markdown {% code overflow="wrap" %} ```markdown > "No human ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and they are not the same human." — _Heraclitus_ ``` {% endcode %} --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
