A college writer will effectively integrate quotes into his or her writing to maintain a
smooth flow of ideas. A smooth flow of ideas strengthens your credibility of a writer and
your overall argument.
A. When to quote:
● Memorable language - use quotation when the author of your source turns a
phrase, sentence, or passage of particularly powerful, vivid, or memorable
language.
● Clear and concise language - use quotation when the language in your source
is so clear and succinct that any attempt to paraphrase would be ineffective.
● Authoritative language - use quotation to add the authority of experts and
prominent figures. Quotations from authoritative sources can be useful in
supporting your argument.
● Language for analysis - use quotation to highlight source passages that you will
discuss and engage in rhetorical analysis.
Method 1: An effective writer will establish the credibility of source material by
indicating where it is coming from:
● Include the author’s credentials which help establish author’s credibility/provide
useful background of the author you are quoting in an appositive phrase:
William McDonough, green architect and co-author of Cradle to Cradle, states, “Nature
operates according to a system of nutrients and metabolisms in which there is no such
thing as waste” (92).
Elizabeth Warren, an advocate for tax reform, claims “…” Elizabeth Warren, a former
Harvard Law professor and US Senator, claims “…”
● Or use the title of the work:
Elizabeth Warren, in her article “What’s Hurting the Middle Class?”, claims “…”
