The <blockquote> tag demand a cite external source, but what if the only source is the name of the phrase author?
The <cite> tag defines the name of a work (e.g. a book, a song, a movie, a TV show, a painting, a sculpture, etc.), so it's no suitable to what I need.
There is a better way to mark a phrase, with your author?
<blockquote> doesn't demand a cite, it's optional. Don't overthink it. <blockquote> without cite is what you're looking for.
