[Jane] then said she liked [...] fish.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
— Stephen Roberts

My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun,
Coral is far more red, than her lips red,

Bacon on a crowbar

This example shows the use of a blockquote for short snippets, demonstrating that one does not have to use p elements inside blockquote elements: He began his list of "lessons" with the following:

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true. We have a method, and that method helps us to reach not absolute truth, only asymptotic approaches to the truth — never there, just closer and closer, always finding vast new oceans of undiscovered possibilities. Cleverly designed experiments are the key.
