How to quote a quote in an article I am writing an essay from?

ahh asked:


I am writing an abstract on some articles and I want to quote someone that was quoted in the article. How would I properly cite this in my abstract (MLA 6) and would I need to add this to the works cited section or would the article I got it from be sufficient?
