I did not mean to call that into question
Indeed, this is addressed at the link I provided:
https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Paragraph_Formatting#Quoting_text

My point was rather that these are **quotation** environments,
not general indentation environments.  To use a quotation
environment whenever indentation is needed is to disregard
its intended use (semantics).  That is my point.

I thought that this makes it impossible to change the
formatting of actual quotes without having that spilling
over to other environments (such as epigraph).
Your response seems to suggest otherwise.  How for example
would I style quotes to have an extra one inch margin on the left
and right but epigraphs to have an extra two inches on the left only?
(I am assuming that epigraphs continue to be wrapped in a ``quote``
environment.)  Am I overlooking something obvious?

Thanks,
Alan
