if i'm taking a quote from a book, how do i put the quotes? like for example this quote from twilight, " I'm here... which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you." Now if I'm writing that on my hw do i have to put double or single quotes?

Generally, you use double quotes for any quotation and use single quotes for a quotation embedded within another quote. So, your example would simply need double quotes as you have them.
An example of embedded quote would be, Then I said, "I heard the guy tell her 'get out of here, quick!'"

single qoutes.
` I'm here... which, roughly translated, means I would rather die than stay away from you.`
Would be right.
"that is right" would be speach. therefore double qoutes.
God knows how you would qoute speach?
