Quotes

A passage attributed to a person or organization, optionally tied to the work it came from.

Writing a quote

The passage itself, plus a topic tag.
Attribute it to a catalog entry from Sources, or type a free-text attribution when the speaker is not in the catalog.
If you pick a catalog source, that wins over the free-text field.
Optionally tie it to a work and add a locator — a page number, timestamp, or date.
