Big Quotation marks styled in html css

Question

How would I style a quote with those huge quotation marks?

I have tried most of the examples shown online. Using Block quote with the :before and :after css styles. The issue I'm having is avoiding the use of a image in div's wrapped around text, because of responsiveness. I'm also using the Twitter Bootstrap framework.

Here's the CSS and the quote in HTML

blockquote {
  border: none;
  font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
  margin-bottom: -30px;
}

blockquote h3 {
  font-size: 21px;
}

blockquote h3:before {
  content: open-quote;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 100px;
  color: #889c0b;
}

blockquote h3:after {
  content: close-quote;
  font-weight: bold;
  font-size: 100px;
  color: #889c0b;
}

<div class="container">
  <blockquote>
    <h3>Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision. ~Peter F. Drucker</h3>
  </blockquote>
</div>

The problem is getting to look like this example, although the responsiveness does sort of work. The Quotation marks are not positioned diagonally from one another.

Although it's not clear after reading your question I guess you want to change the shape of quotation marks.

Pick a proper unicode value and add a quotes property. E.g.

blockquote {
    border:none;
    font-family:Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    margin-bottom:-30px;
    quotes: "\201C""\201D""\2018""\2019";
}

blockquote h3 {
font-size:21px;
}

blockquote h3:before { 
content: open-quote;
font-weight: bold;
font-size:100px;
color:#889c0b;
} 
blockquote h3:after { 
content: close-quote;
font-weight: bold;
font-size:100px;
color:#889c0b;
  
}

<div class="container">
<blockquote><h3>Whenever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision. ~Peter F. Drucker</h3></blockquote>
</div>

You may also want to change the font-family so the shape of quotation marks is more suitable to your desires.
