<p>I'm writing my essay on a historical figure who influenced me, and I wanted to add a quote from him, which is about four lines. This quote is necessary because I discuss it throughout my essay, but how should I integrate this quote? I used block quoting + MLA format, but it seems way too formal for an admissions essay. If I actually used MLA format, I'd need a works cited page on the bottom of my essay...</p>
<p>If you discuss it throughout your essay then you should put it right at the beginning of the essay. Like:</p>
<p>"Blah, blah, blah." - Albert Einstein</p>
<p>Intro
Body of Essay
Conclusion</p>
<p>And so forth. Well, that's what I would do.</p>
