Hello Amit, I think you are doing it correctly with using about there. If you have a freebase Url you may use it directly without wrapping it in a http://schema.org/Thing "container". If you keep the structure with using http://schema.org/Thing, I recomment to use the schema:url property instead of schema:sameAs, you may also fill in the schema:name of the http://schema.org/Thing you are talking about. Otherwise you can use anything that is derived from http://schema.org/Thing in the schema:about property. So when the quote is from a book you can use http://schema.org/Book instead of the most general case http://schema.org/Thing.
