  On the rare occasion when LaTeX doesn't know where to hyphenate a word so
it sticks into the right margin, I either tell it where to hyphenate or
rewrite the text so it fits a justified line. But, what am I to do when a
quotation has an overfilled line or three and the rightmost word in the line
either cannot be hyphenated or is already hyphenated at the only allowed
place?

Thanks,

Rich

Found this on Herbert Voss's tips page.  Does it help?

Problems with hyphenation
Put the following commands in LaTeX preamble, if you have some lines which went out of 
the right margin:

\tolerance=200
\setlength{\emergencystretch}{2em}
