Three ideas in one thread, possibly a single idea.
1) Oftentimes there will be a post by someone who was quoted which you'll want to go back and look upon. What better way of solving this than simply having a postID attribute of the quote tag.
[quote id=27428424]The contents of the quote here[/quote]
Now you can have a link back to the post itself that was quoted. Simple.
2) Quoting entire posts takes up a lot of room in the textbox which could be better used for new content/formatting. Deriving from the first idea, instead of including the contents of a post within the quote tags, have the site do it automatically. For example, let's say I want to quote the OP (stosh) in this thread. I could type out something like this in a new post:
[quote id=18748346]
When someone views my post, stosh's post is automatically placed there within a quote box, the contents of which cannot be modified. I can see something like this being particularly useful for people who like to create compilations/guides, as you wouldn't need to worry about where a new post was made, you could simply quote it and have it displayed in the one post (eg. the OP).
3) Collapsible quotes. If the contents of a quote exceed a certain length (say, 1000 characters), have the quote box collapsed by default with an option to uncollapse it (like a reported/collapsed post), but alongside the button include a small piece of the text within the quote (a la, search results).
