a Long Quotation: (Four or more lines of typewritten text)
R. N. Stromberg (1966) offers his observation on European
philosophical dynamism:
The
great philosophers of the Middle Ages, long since rescued from the prejudices
against
them
and the charges that they were trivial or obscure—men like Anselm and Aquinas—
labored
to assimilate Greek philosophy into Christianity, to plant in barbarian Europe
the
rational
outlook, seeking to shape one great tradition out of the Greeks, Romans, and
Christian
Fathers. (p. 6)

Paraphrase:
A study at Bellevue Hospital in
New York City of 102 teenagers who attempted suicide showed that only one third

Documenting a
Source without Named Author or Pagination:
Artistic renderings are displayed as didgeridoo music plays in the video "Australian Aboriginal Music: Song with Didgeridoo" (2007).
Documenting a
Quotation from a Bible:
The first time you make a
citation from the Bible, state in the text of your paper the chapter and the
verse of the book of the Bible you are quoting, along with the name and the
version of the Bible you are using. For example: "Luke 12.27 in the Oxford
Annotated Bible, Revised Standard Edition, says . . ."
From that point on, you can
simply refer to the book, chapter, and verse you are quoting. For example:
"And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his
teaching, for he taught them as one who had authority, and not as their
scribes" (Matthew 7.28-29).
