a) Christa McAuliffe said "Follow your instincts ... go for your dreams."

b) Bla-bla-bla also it was said "Follow your instincts ... go for your dreams" (Christa McAukiffe).

three dots with space before and after to show some omission inside the quotation. 
sample (a) with author at the beginning
sample (b) author at the end, see the parenthesis mark for author and period at the very end.
