It would be different if there was a quoting mechanism here where we could block off quoted material, or at least put it in a different typeface, but without that, the quoted stuff gets lost in the rest of the text. So, my suggestion is limit the amount of actual quoted text to just what is needed and put a link in. It makes it a lot easier to see what you are saying.
