This time I would like to share with code which will create below nice quotes in LaTeX of course ;)

So, kindly add this snippet to your LaTeX project :

\makeatletter
\newif\if@right
\def\shadequote{\@righttrue\shadequote@i}
\def\shadequote@i{\begin{snugshade}\begin{quote}\openquote}
\def\endshadequote{%
  \if@right\hfill\fi\closequote\end{quote}\end{snugshade}}
\@namedef{shadequote*}{\@rightfalse\shadequote@i}
\@namedef{endshadequote*}{\endshadequote}
\makeatother

and after all just use it :

\begin{shadequote}
\textit{Hello everybody!}
\par\emph{Tom Alexander - dyrektor generalny}
\end{shadequote}
