Blockquotes aren't /supposed/ to be enclosed in quotation marks--
the fact that the content is quoted is represented by indentation
(and maybe also condensing the font/line-height).

      When quotations of an entire line, or more, of either
    verse or prose are to be distinguished typographically
    from text matter, as are the quotations in this book,
    begin on a fresh line and indent. Quotation marks
    should not be used unless they appear in the original,
    as in dialogue.
