Answer 1

If it's necessary to quote directly, make sure you acknowledge your source, either in your main body or in reference notes. If it's not, then try to integrate it into your writing and phrasing it in your own words.

Story and poem quotes can be integrated into your writing if they are short. If I was speaking of myriad things, and wanted to use Lewis Carroll's expression, I might say:

There are various articles that interest the narrator in the text, reminiscent of the Walrus in Lewis Carroll's work when he speaks to Alice of everything from "shoes and ships" to "cabbages and kings". (This is a very bad example made up just for the integration. Also, quotes should have page numbers after them in brackets if you have the book at hand when writing the essay.)

But if it is a longer quote, put into the essay to analyze it, it should be separated. Something like this:

When Lewis Carroll writes:

"'The time has come,' the Walrus said

"To talk of many things.

Of shoes and ships and sealing wax -

And cabbages and kings'"

he repeatedly uses alliteration in order to catch the reader's attention and make the lexicon more memorable. (Again, this example was thought up on the spur of the moment. I am sure the punctuation of the quote in wrong, and the example itself is only showing non-integrated quotations.)

Answer 2

well make it sound like you said it for example don't use the same words that the dictionary uses.
