Note
One spelling does double duty here. Standing alone, quoted is the simple past (she quoted the poet). After have it builds the perfect, and after be it forms the passive, as in the reporter's familiar "was quoted as saying." The form also carries the verb's commercial meanings: a builder has quoted a price for the work, and a security is quoted at its current value.
