How can I create a block quote enviroment with big quotation marks similar to the Cquote Template of Wikipedia?
Additionally it would be nice to place both quotation marks and quote in a colored box and to have the author closer to the citation.

Here's one solution using TikZ which defines a new environment using the framed package. You should preferably compile this with xelatex or lualatex, since it gives the easiest access to a wide range of fonts. I've added code to make it run under pdflatex as well.
The code has now been updated to allow some flexibility in the formatting of the different components of the quotation, and the environment takes two arguments:

In this code, the font for the quotation marks is set independently of the main document font. This is because depending on the main font you choose, the very large quotation marks will not look good; Linux Libertine has pretty quotes that seem appropriate for the purpose. If you want to use this environment with another main document font, remove/change the usepackagelibertine.

@Alun: Why do you definequotefont? libertine is already present.
– Herbert

@Herbert Because these are decorative elements, it makes sense to define the font for the quotes independent of the document font. For example, if you just use Computer Modern, the big quotes look quite silly; The libertine font has a pretty quote for this purpose, and I would use it with most document fonts.

@Alun: You know, that I know that ... ;-) But then it makes sense to use another text font in your example, if you want to show this behaviour.

@Chernoff I'm not sure why this happens, but you can adjust the value ofxshiftin theclosequotemacro to1ex(or similar values) to adjust the positioning of the quote.

(We just got another question asking for something similar: Quote style like on owni.eu. I wasn't aware of this question when I started to answer that one, but on becoming aware of it decided to post my answer here instead.)
It's also TikZ-based but slightly different to Alan's as the whole thing ends up in a TikZ node. This does mean that it won't work with page-breaking. One could also adapt the quote marks from Alan's version to make them look a bit better.
Here's the result:
And here's the code:
documentclassarticle

usepackagelipsum
usepackagetikz
usetikzlibrarybackgrounds

@Johannes_B @LoopSpace This is great! This creates no spacing between paragraphs within the block quote, however. How can I modify it so that there is normal spacing between paragraphs within the fancyquotes environment? I tried addingsetlengthbaselineskip16ptandsetlengthparskipbaselineskipbut neither one worked.

If there is a line break before the closing quote, it looks a bit strange. I don't have a real good suggestion, but I think placing simple anolinebreakmakes things a bit better. This means one would have to replace the lineif@righthfillficlosequoteendquoteendsnugshade}bynolinebreakif@righthfillficlosequoteendquoteendsnugshade}. This is a comment and not an edit, because I'm unsure if it's the best solution.

Had I known about this question, I would not have written cfr-dquote. However, I didn't, so I did. Here's a lightly modified version of my package for public consumption or rejection.
The package defines a command, dquote[<dimension>]<long text><short text which is intended to be used so that <dimension> is the width desired, <long text> is the quotation and <short text> is the attribution.
The package is based on TikZ and the appearance can be customised using the usual key-value interface. For example, I've never used this with a coloured background to the quotation, but that is easy to achieve by simply altering quote style.
For example,
documentclass[a4paper,british]article
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagegeometry,babel,csquotes
usepackagecfr-lm
usepackagecfr-dquote
MakeAutoQuote‘’
MakeAutoQuote*“”

‘Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?’ said the March Hare.
‘Exactly so,’ said Alice.
‘Then you should say what you mean,’ the March Hare went on.
‘I do,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘at least --- at least I mean what I say --- that's the same thing, you know.’
‘Not the same thing a bit!’ said the Hatter. ‘Why, you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!’
‘You might just as well say,’ added the March Hare, ‘that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!’
‘You might just as well say,’ added the Dormouse, which seemed to be talking in its sleep, ‘that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!’

produces the following output
The package consists of two files, cfr-dquote.sty and cfr-dquote.tex. In theory, the latter can be compiled alone, since it uses the standalone class, but don't be tempted to use it this way - that's just to make tweaks and debugging easier.

In this code, the font for the quotation marks is set independently of the main document font. This is because depending on the main font you choose, the very large quotation marks will not look good; Linux Libertine has pretty quotes that seem appropriate for the purpose. If you want to use this environment with another main document font, remove/change the usepackagelibertine.

@Herbert Because these are decorative elements, it makes sense to define the font for the quotes independent of the document font. For example, if you just use Computer Modern, the big quotes look quite silly; The libertine font has a pretty quote for this purpose, and I would use it with most document fonts.

Here's one solution using TikZ which defines a new environment using the framed package. You should preferably compile this with xelatex or lualatex, since it gives the easiest access to a wide range of fonts. I've added code to make it run under pdflatex as well.

It's also TikZ-based but slightly different to Alan's as the whole thing ends up in a TikZ node. This does mean that it won't work with page-breaking. One could also adapt the quote marks from Alan's version to make them look a bit better.

@Johannes_B @LoopSpace This is great! This creates no spacing between paragraphs within the block quote, however. How can I modify it so that there is normal spacing between paragraphs within the fancyquotes environment? I tried addingsetlengthbaselineskip16ptandsetlengthparskipbaselineskipbut neither one worked.

It's also TikZ-based but slightly different to Alan's as the whole thing ends up in a TikZ node. This does mean that it won't work with page-breaking. One could also adapt the quote marks from Alan's version to make them look a bit better.
Here's the result:

Just had a request on TeXwelt.de to have the box in twocolumn mode taking up just one column. Basically,s/textwidth/columnwidth/g. Can you add a line explaining and maybe another screenshot?

@Johannes_B @LoopSpace This is great! This creates no spacing between paragraphs within the block quote, however. How can I modify it so that there is normal spacing between paragraphs within the fancyquotes environment? I tried addingsetlengthbaselineskip16ptandsetlengthparskipbaselineskipbut neither one worked.

If there is a line break before the closing quote, it looks a bit strange. I don't have a real good suggestion, but I think placing simple anolinebreakmakes things a bit better. This means one would have to replace the lineif@righthfillficlosequoteendquoteendsnugshade}bynolinebreakif@righthfillficlosequoteendquoteendsnugshade}. This is a comment and not an edit, because I'm unsure if it's the best solution.

Had I known about this question, I would not have written cfr-dquote. However, I didn't, so I did. Here's a lightly modified version of my package for public consumption or rejection.
The package defines a command, dquote[<dimension>]<long text><short text which is intended to be used so that <dimension> is the width desired, <long text> is the quotation and <short text> is the attribution.
The package is based on TikZ and the appearance can be customised using the usual key-value interface. For example, I've never used this with a coloured background to the quotation, but that is easy to achieve by simply altering quote style.
For example,
documentclass[a4paper,british]article
usepackage[utf8]inputenc
usepackagegeometry,babel,csquotes
usepackagecfr-lm
usepackagecfr-dquote
MakeAutoQuote‘’
MakeAutoQuote*“”
begindocument

dquote text font=fontfamilyLobsterTwo-LFselectfontLargeupshape,
dquote attrib font=fontfamilyLobsterTwo-LFselectfontHugeitshape,
dquote=

marks=

,

‘Come, we shall have some fun now!’ thought Alice. ‘I'm glad they've begun asking riddles --- I believe I can guess that,’ she added aloud.
‘Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?’ said the March Hare.
‘Exactly so,’ said Alice.
‘Then you should say what you mean,’ the March Hare went on.
‘I do,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘at least --- at least I mean what I say --- that's the same thing, you know.’
‘Not the same thing a bit!’ said the Hatter. ‘Why, you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!’
‘You might just as well say,’ added the March Hare, ‘that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!’
‘You might just as well say,’ added the Dormouse, which seemed to be talking in its sleep, ‘that ‘I breathe when I sleep’ is the same thing as ‘I sleep when I breathe’!’

produces the following output
The package consists of two files, cfr-dquote.sty and cfr-dquote.tex. In theory, the latter can be compiled alone, since it uses the standalone class, but don't be tempted to use it this way - that's just to make tweaks and debugging easier.

‘Come, we shall have some fun now!’ thought Alice. ‘I'm glad they've begun asking riddles --- I believe I can guess that,’ she added aloud.
‘Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?’ said the March Hare.
‘Exactly so,’ said Alice.
‘Then you should say what you mean,’ the March Hare went on.
‘I do,’ Alice hastily replied; ‘at least --- at least I mean what I say --- that's the same thing, you know.’
‘Not the same thing a bit!’ said the Hatter. ‘Why, you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!’
‘You might just as well say,’ added the March Hare, ‘that ‘I like what I get’ is the same thing as ‘I get what I like’!’

Had I known about this question, I would not have written cfr-dquote. However, I didn't, so I did. Here's a lightly modified version of my package for public consumption or rejection.
The package defines a command, dquote[<dimension>]<long text><short text which is intended to be used so that <dimension> is the width desired, <long text> is the quotation and <short text> is the attribution.
The package is based on TikZ and the appearance can be customised using the usual key-value interface. For example, I've never used this with a coloured background to the quotation, but that is easy to achieve by simply altering quote style.
For example,

The package consists of two files, cfr-dquote.sty and cfr-dquote.tex. In theory, the latter can be compiled alone, since it uses the standalone class, but don't be tempted to use it this way - that's just to make tweaks and debugging easier.
