The above is the result of some fiddling around with 
\newcommand qoutiepie[2] {
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\parbox{6.5cm}{
\parbox{0.4cm}{\Huge{``}}
\large {#1}''
\\ \flushright {#2}
}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
}
And called
\qoutiepie{Some pretty words followed by some more pretty words.}{Anonymous}
Looks good in a two-column article.
