Quotes are used for:
* Documentation and support third person statements in the lead
* Highlighting testimony in trials
They are used for those things, among the others. It's all in how the person uses the quote to write, show feelings, etc.
For example:
"Dr. Jerz is talking about poop! exclaimed Freddy King.
That would not be a very good quote, without something to back it up.
"Today, the Congress meets to discuss the Katrina Relief Aid the president has discussed," In the White House, President Bish watches as his chief advisor gives a brief speech. "We hope that congress can agree with us on an action soon."
That's a good quote because it doesn't just stand alone. It has the president watching his advisor. You just have to pick and choose your quotes.
