What is the difference between an excerpt and a quote?

a quote is a statement that has been made by someone else. en excerpt is a passage or extract (meaning more than one line) from a larger work...such as a newspaper or book/novel.

think of a quote as being "this is what they said" and an excerpt as being "this is why they said it/ what they mean" to explain the qoute.

an excerpt and a qoute can both explain a certain subject further by expressing a sismilar or opposite point of view.
