This template is for epigraphs or pull quotes meant to stand out, not for regular long quotations. The difference from {{quote}} is that the {{epigraph}} attribution has the same text size as the quote (instead of being slightly smaller).

The quote parameter is required. The cite parameter is optional. Cut-'n'-paste:

{{epigraph
| quote =
| cite =
}}

Examples

[edit source]
{{epigraph
| quote = The tank of the Spanish Civil War: T-26B
| cite = Lucas Molina Franco
}}

Result
