This doesn't seem to cover the "or all of" in the definition (instead, it seems to imply that the quote is necessarily "a smaller thing"):

:myquote
   a :Quote, prov:Entity;
   prov:value "derived from an original entity e1 by copying, or "quoting", some or all of it.";
   prov:wasQuotedFrom <http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-prov-dm-20120503/#dfn-wasquotedfrom>;
   prov:wasGeneratedAtTime "2012-05-14T16:02:34-04:00"^^xsd:dateTime;
.
