I commend for your perusal the <blockquote> tag, which can be customised with CSS styles to your heart's content, and the {{quotation}} template: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Quotation
There's a nice example here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy
It needs a bit of tweaking (named parameters are better for various reasons, and in some places you don't actually need the attribution because it precedes the quotation) but it seems to fit your bill.
Ok, yeah I know about that template, which I find for most practical purposes pretty impractical. Everytime I've tried to use it, either the source of the quotation was already obvious, or I wanted to surround it with ""s or something. In any case, it's a bit cumbersome for a talk page. If a template was the only solution, a very basic style would be my preference - none of this hard-coded quotation author bizzo...
