I'm writing an essay for school. If I wanted to quote Ghandi for his saying "an eye for an eye leaves the world blind", do I have to say his name in my essay or can I just put it in quotes? Thanks! Also, the essay doesn't relate to Ghandi, but his quote ties in to what I'm saying.

Work him into the text: "As Mahatma Ghandi said, 'An eye for an eye leaves the world blind.'"

you should sy something like this: "an eye for an eye will make the world blind" Ghandi was a blah blah blah (talk a little bit about Ghandi). ghandi has many insightful thoughts including his famous qoute above.

It IS a quote, so you should credit it, and not that hopeless"as someone once said"
Here's another along the same lines:
"If others insult you ...you need only step back and reflect. In time, even demons vanish. Once you … respond with words of ill, when will it ever end?"

You should include his name in the essay. If nothing else, it will make the quote seem more credible.

even though it doesn't relate to him you should include his name for reference. if you just put it in there; it would be random.
