Can I nest quotes inside quotes?

Yes! Use >> for level 2 nesting, >>> for level 3, and so on. Most renderers support at least 3 levels of nesting.

Can I put code blocks inside quotes?

Yes, you can put any Markdown element inside a quote, including code blocks, lists, and headings. Just prefix each line with >.

Markdown doesn't have a built-in citation syntax. The common convention is to add a dash and the author name: > "Quote text" — Author Name
