Is the above format correct for the writings quoted from other sources?

I believe what you mean is quote and unquote.
Where do you intend to write this? Isn't it easier to just use quotation marks?
 
not a teacher

No. This is not a correct way to quote an author's text!
Have a look here:
Referencing - The Harvard System

If you just want to make clear that the specific text isn't your own creation: put it in quotation marks or italics.
