I can use the quote button but I always get the entire post. How do I just pull out a piece of a post?This is so I can quote out of context.

I just use the quote button and delete what I don't want. If there's another way then I'm sure someone who is more experienced will let us both know.

Another way if you don't care about identifying the writer, just copy and paste the text that you want to quote into your reply, highlight it and then hit the quote button (the little talk bubble on the second line above, 7th over from the right.
When you climb up a ladder, you...begin at the bottom...ascend step by step, until you arrive at the top...so it is with the principles of the Gospel--you must begin with the first...go on until you learn all the principles of exaltation. But it will be a great while after you have passed through the veil before you will have learned them. It is not all to be comprehended in this world. Joseph Smith
