If you italicize the citation, the quotes shouldn't be in italics; at
least that how French works (even if some people, including some
well-known newspapers, don't follow this rule).
(English is tricky, because simple puncutation goes inside the quotes:
"I'm quoting 'something,' and then writing something else." vs. "Je
cite « quelque chose », et j'écris autre chose à la suite.")
