Is this possible? I am trying to incorporate a particular theme into one sentence, and I have two very short quotations which both contribute well to the theme of the sentence, but they are coming from different pages. Is this allowable, and if so, how do I format this?

I am talking about MLA format of quotations. Maybe I should put this homework help instead.

MLA uses in-text citations.
Let's say the first quote is from page 123 of Joe Smith's book, and let's say the second quote is from page 456 of Jane Brown's book. Quote like this:
Joe Smith said, "Quote here" (123), whereas Jane Brown notes, "Quote here" (456).
Or you can paraphrase like this:
It is important to note that [paraphrase here] (Smith 123), though some other critics think that [paraphrase here] (Brown 456).

Instead of saying "p. 123" you say "pp. 123 and 456".
