No, it definitely is *not*. An image just expands the loading time of a
webpage, so try to avoid it whenever possible. There is a tag for quotes
in HTML (<q>, you already named it...), so why don't you use it? The
problem that no other block-elements can be put into a <p> can easily
solved: use a <div> instead of the outer <p>...
