What if I'm just a commoner with literary writing aspirations to be published that wants to show and get some respect by briefly and casually (yet correctly) citing when I quote either online on boards, comment sections or social media or in my, thus far personal writings? =P

I often want to give the author, the work it originated from and the year it was published or uttered...
