Yes I don't think this is the place to ask advise on illegal matters.
Scraping content from websites that you do not have permission from is
copyright infringement. The fact that you don't want to cite the original
source inidcates to me that you are building this site for some financial
gain - whether that is to get exposure, advertising revenue or other means.
Respect the content owners, ask for their permission to use the content!!

Thanks for the heads up guys. I know how to use blockquote, that's not an
issue, but I'm wondering if using cite would be worth it.
I won't be storing the URL from the original page. If I did citing the
orig. page that could get me into a while lot of trouble if I am
mirroring/scraping/*stealing* quotes from certain sites. Hence why I do
not want to cite the original site.
I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying that your are
infringing on copyright and are worried that citing the source will get
you caught? If so, you're trying to solve the wrong problem and should be
seeking to license the content or otherwise use it within the constraints
of the law.
