<!-- EDIT TEMPLATE DOCUMENTATION BELOW THIS LINE -->

'''{{tl|Cquote}}''' (for '''Centered pull-quote''') is a template meant for [[pull-quote]]s, which stand apart from the text of a page.

'''NOTE''': This template should '''not be used''' for [[block quote]]s in article text. For long quotations in the text, the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Quotations|Manual of Style]] recommends using the HTML &lt;[[blockquote]]&gt; element, such as through the use of the {{tl|Quote}} template.

{{cquote|External success has to do with people who may see me as a model, or an example, or a representative. As much as I may dislike or want to reject that responsibility, this is something that comes with public success. It's important to give others a sense of hope that it is possible and you can come from really different places in the world and find your own place in the world that's unique for yourself.|4=[[Amy Tan]]}}<!--This is a bad example, as it is illustrating use of the template in article text, not as a pull-quote!-->
