Are quotation marks necessary?

Solution 1:

It's really a matter of personal preference.

I prefer to write quotes with single quotation marks and then a tilde (~), but others will use a dash (-) with double quotes or even none at all.

'Quote' ~Author

"Quote" ~Author

'Quote' -Author

"Quote" -Author

Quote ~Author

Quote -Author

Some may even use italics:

Quote ~Author

Quote -Author

Just choose which style you like best.
