Left AND right margin
start with
\begin{center}
\begin{minpage}{}
... the text ...
\end{minipage}
\end{center}
another solution is to define your own environment in latex preamble
\newenvironment{myQuote}[2]%
{\begin{list}{}{\leftmargin#1\rightmargin#2}\item{}}%
{\end{list}}
in your text than
- \begin{myQuote}{3cm}{5cm}
- the text ... bla bla bla ... the text
- \end{myQuote}
or with any other values for left and right margin.
Right margin
same as above with \begin{myQuote}{0cm}{5cm}
or with any other value for right margin.
