If it's not poetry, I don't believe that you have to keep the original spacing. You do not use quotation marks and you indent the quote. See this link for more info.
Good luck! : )

It is grammatically proper to have a second set of quotation marks at the beginning of the second paragraph, avoiding quotation marks at the end of the first paragraph, but finishing the entire quote at the end.
" we believe that all men are created equal, that they are endowed with certain unalienable rights
"that among these rights are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
note the lack of quotation marks at the end of the first paragraph, but the finishing quotation marks at the end of the entire quote.

Assuming you want APA format, you're able to write it like this: that's the paragraph above your quote. that's the paragraph above your quote. that's the paragraph above your quote. that's the paragraph above your quote. that's the paragraph above your quote. John H. Smith as quickly as suggested: ------->that's an further long quote.that's an further long quote.that's an further long ------->quote. that's an further long quote.that's an further long quote.that's an further ------->long quote.that's an further long quote. (2010, p. 193) that's the place you proceed writing. that's the place you proceed writing. that's the place you proceed writing. that's the place you proceed writing. that's the place you proceed writing. that's the place you proceed writing.

You can use italics for the entire quote and it will help seperate it out.
