Yes. Of course you have to site your source. Look up in the MLA (Modern Language Association) handbook if you're doing a paper in the arts/literature category. If you're writing a paper in the science category, look it up in the APA (American Psychological Association) handbook, and you will find how to site the source.

It's "cite", and basically you should give all information necessary for someone to find the original quotation, preferably date, location, publisher (or website in this case) and so forth.
It's also "source" for that matter. You want to cite the source that you used.

Yes you have to give credit. There are tricks to it. The easiest way in the long run is to get templates for citations to use in your word processors. If you get into college work, you'll need it then.
