A quotation is the exact words of someone else. When you like what someone said, put their quotation in your writing.

Quotations are a big part of writing. People use quotations when something is well-said. A quotation from someone famous or smart can help make your own point sound better. When you use a quotation, always remember to put it in quotation marks and give proper credit. Also, don't change any of the words: a quotation should be exactly what the person said or wrote.

quote / quotation

If you quote someone, do you create a quote or a quotation? To quote is to transcribe what someone said or wrote, crediting that person:

As a result, until yesterday, the Company had been quoted only on the Pink Sheets.

"She was kind of a rainbow," Sheri Potter said Wednesday, quoting Kimmie's father, Cecil.

A quotation is the transcription of what someone said or wrote, crediting that person:

A quotation attributed to Adolf Hitler that made its way into a high school yearbook in Pennsylvania has left students, parents and educators mortified.

Yet we also see quote used to mean quotation, and not just by Johnny-Come-Lately quotation publishers like Quote of the Day, BrainyQuote, and the Quotations Page:

Twain is known for more notable quotes about more topics than you can shake a stick at.

It features the presidential seal in the center and quotes from some of the leaders Obama admires most.

Most dictionaries allow that quote can mean quotation, though some will label such usage as informal. Given the prevalence of this usage in edited news copy, don't worry overmuch about using quote to mean quotation ... unless, of course, you're writing for someone who is very formal.
