There are boxes in the Common Knowledge section on the Work page for First words, Last words, and Quotations. When you open the box, you will see an option to +Add Item that will create more boxes for additional quotes.

>1 CuriousLearner: If it's a book in your own library you can put it in the Comment field. I do that a lot and include page number, so I can find it again.
I.e.
Side 72: Aha, he said!
(Side is just the Danish word for Page.)

Bear in mind that Common Knowledge is subject to anybody editing it. So treat that as more like throwing the quote out there, (but somebody else might delete it) whereas if you want something more permanent, Comments. Could copy the CK into your Comments after you add it. Alternately, if you like to collect themed quotes across different books, a List could be good for that.
Eg. "You cannot be serious" every time that a book has that phrase, it gets added to the list (I made this example up) :-)
