Hi, Before you start listing unsatisfactory solutions, it would be helpful to know what the problem is. :-) What kinds of quotes and attribution? For what backend (we only know it's not texinfo)? Does the result need to be styled or semantically marked up as an attribution in some way?

Unless you're quoting a verse, #+begin_verse probably isn't the right approach. The attribution for a quote may not be logically part of a quote, but with block quotes, typographically it usually is part of the block, or at least continues with the same indent. E.g.: Men are congenitally compelled to impose a meaningful order upon reality. (Berger, 1990) Or: "Men are congenitally compelled to impose a meaningful order upon reality." ---Peter Berger, /The Sacred Canopy/ In these cases I'd just put it inside the #+begin_quote block.
