如何引用数学家的名言?

在我的项目中,我想在一段话中引用牛顿的一句话

"Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external "

但我希望它与正文相比,左右边距都缩进一些空间,就像

Newton said

"Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own

nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by..."

那么我该怎么做呢?请帮忙,谢谢。

您正在寻找的是环境的预期用途quote

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{showframe,lipsum} % just for this document

\begin{document}

\lipsum[1]

Newton said
\begin{quote}
Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent and common time, is some sensible and external
\end{quote}

\lipsum[1]

\end{document}

使用article和后showframe,上述结果为: 代码输出

请注意,左右两侧的缩进量大约是正常段落缩进量的两倍。如果您想要调整它,那么您需要开始深入研究一些细节。(左右两侧的行来自包,showframe用于显示文本宽度的开始和结束位置。)

正如 cfr 所指出的,quote环境足以表明这是引文。此外,使用引号会显得多余,甚至会暗示牛顿是在引用别人的话。
