You use quotation marks in sentences to indicate that you are using the person's exact words. This maybe spoken or written and that it is incorporated in your own written material.

It also can be used to call attention to the vagueness of the term as used, such as describing a "large" house, or "low fat" food, or political "ethics".

you use quotation marks around words to indicate they are an exact quotation from someone or a work.
