Answer:

It depends on the source of the famous quote.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are quoting from a website, you should consider doing it the following way:

Last name, Name. "Title of the article". Webpage name. Name of the organization (if necessary). Day month year of publication (if existing). Way of publication (web, in this case). Date when the website was visited. <link to the website>

If there's no name, you should start with the title of the article. The first date is when the article came out, the second one, when in was visited.

Inside the text, you should quote like (Last name, par. number).

In any citing forms, it is important to acknowledge the author and the year it was concluded or published. The rules for citing a quote in MLA form are:

1. Enclose the direct quotation in quotation marks.
2. Reference the original author nd page number or line number (verse).
3. Place punctuation after the parenthetical citation.
