Hello everyone,

I would like to know how to use Quotes in introduction and Conclusion. Thanks a lot
 
Can you give an example of what you would like to do?
 
I write an essay about Mobile Phones. I want to write a quote in my introduction but I don't know how to write it. In other words, in which form I should write it.
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Arthur C. Clarke

You could write, "As Arthur C. Clarke said, 'Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.'" It's a well-known quotation and not an academic reference so you just need to give the name of the person who said it and put their words in quotation marks or inverted commas (" ") or (' '). Just use the same punctuation that you see in your school books.
