How do I begin my essay with a long quote?

Question

I am writing an essay and would like to begin it with a long quotation from a speech. Would I place it like I would if it were anywhere else in my essay? (i.e. single space, one-inch indent on each side)

Answer 1

If you're using a word processor, you can easily set it off with wide left and right margins, just enough to make a visible difference from your body copy.

Let em see if I can find anything on the Internet.

I read it that MLA says indent from the left and double space.

Answer 2

yes it would basically look like this

"lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll" da da da da da
