If you let LaTeX fully justify your text, you don't control line endings, otherwise you can put \\ to say 'Hey I want a line ending here'. If you want a shorter quoting you could use a different size to \parbox. As an example you can use * \parbox{0.7\linewidth}* to limit the parbox to 70% of your linewidth.
