What's the MLA rule about whether a quote is defined as lengthy?

I have a quote with two pretty long sentences, but I'd rather not have to use another long quote.

I think the rule is that you have to change the formatting if the quote is more than four lines. Then you have to do that weird extra indentation for the quote.

if it is longer than 40 words it must be in block format separate from the paragraph
