Note:
Don't rely too heavily on the use of quotes in your paper. Rather, employ the technique of rephrasing the cited idea into you own words.
Please refer to the Chicago Manual of Style for further information on quotation style.
Rephrasing another's ideas into you own words is known as paraphrasing.
With paraphrasing you still do need to site the original resource; however, if you are borrowing heavily from an author but still using you own words, add a reference. You are citing the ideas! Give credit where credit is due.
