quick question! I'm writing a research paper. And I would like to start my paper with a quote. However this quote although is relevant to my paper, I don't intent to explain it write away, it's more like an implied statement. So a traditional MLA paper is as follows, of course double spaced. Names Professor's name Course Date Title indention-- Start paragraph So, I have the impression that if I want start with a quote on top of my paper it would go in the following way: Names Professor's name Course Date Quote Title Indentation----- starts paragraph. Please let me know what I should do! I really like this quote and it will make a good "heading" for the paper. Also, is it supposed to be double spaced? italicized? same font 12? Thank you soooo much in advanced! I've done research on this topic for so long. I started with my MLA booklet but didn't find any answers.

As a rule:
You put it in quotes -- if it's for a short story
You italicize if it's for magazines, journals, articles, etc.
You underline if it's for a book or novel

Put it in quotation marks. Novels, books and periodicals may be either underlined or italicized. They are the same thing.

For short stories, you need to put it in quotes. I wasn't quite sure, so I researched it quickly for you. Here it is: When citing an encylopedia, dictionary, or periodical article; a poem; an essay; or a short story enclose the title in quotation marks.

Center the title and either underline, italicize, or make it bold and in larger font. Quotation marks are used when you're "quoting" what you or someone else said in a previous time.

That's a question of "house style". Every publisher does it differently although I don't think anyone uses underline. I've used both quotes and italics. I think italics is more elegant and quotes is more common. Unless your teacher has very strong opinions on the subject I wouldn't worry about which to use. The content of the essay is much more important
