Block quotes

Single-line blockquote:

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Multi-line blockquote with a citation:

People think focus means saying yes to the thing you need to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas out there. You have to choose carefully. I’m actually just as proud of the things we haven’t done as I am of the things we have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things.

Steve Jobs – Apple Worldwide Developers’ Conference, 1997
