In the article class, the quote environment puts some extra space
above and below the quotation to help separate it from the body text.
In the article (AMS) class, though, the quote environment inserts no
extra space, which would seem in conflict with normal typographic
practice. What would be the right way to insert the extra vertical space?
If that's how it looks in that class, then that is now the designers of
the class wanted it to look. You can change it by redefining the quote
environment, e.g.:
\renewenvironment{quote}{%
\list{}{\setlength{\topsep}{10ex}\rightmargin\leftmargin}\item[]%
}{%
\endlist
}
Adjust as needed.
