In-text citation

Example

Most works of literature raises some kind of moral questions. However, “literature does not teach morals in a didactic way; rather, it gives us a chance to experience moral dilemmas” (Gillespie 18). Instead of reading about moral principles, we exercise them through literature.

More examples

Literature provides “aesthetic pleasure we take in good craftsmanship of any kind…well-ordered and well-chosen words are one of the few forms of immortality” (Pickering 4). This beauty in literature does not fade away.

At this moment, literature creates a special place, in which we are “sucked in, swept up, spirited away…enfolded in a blissful embrace” (Felski 55).
