Can you put a quote inside a quote inside a quote inside a quote?

In: Academic Writing, Essays, Brackets Parentheses and Quotation Marks [Edit categories]

Answer:

I need to know how as well. the why if you must know is that there is a report has a quote within a quote and I am quoting their passage to support my topic in my paper.

one quote: "quote" (page#) .
two: "start of the first quote 'quote2' the rest of the first" (page#) .
Three: unknown (page#) .
four: why? who cares share if you know to help out the next guy
