Please have a look at any current german book available. And bear in
mind that Büchmanns book is all about quotations. ;-)

Quotes for direct speech are usually:
>>This is direct speech. I am reading >Geflügelte Worte< from
Büchmann.<<

You can see it in: Jean Paul. Gesammelte Werke. Hanser Verlag (Nice books!)

Or:

<<This is direct speech. I am reading <Geflügelte Worte> from
Büchmann.>>

You can see it in: Robert Musil: Mann ohne Eigenschaften. Rowohlt
Verlag (Nice book too!)


The last time I saw ,,these quotes'' was in school-books. ;-)

Italics are to emphasize things. Yes, they are used sometimes for
quotes also.

So it would be great, if all these quotes were avaiable in german
context.

juh
