According to MLA guidelines, (may differ in APA or Chicago-style) a double indent is either pressing [Tab] twice or 10 spaces. It also says to use double indents when using a quote in a paper that is more than four lines long.

I recommend:

For quotations that extend to more than four lines of verse or prose: place quotations in a free-standing block of text and omit quotation marks. Start the quotation on a new line, with the entire quote indented one inch from the left margin; maintain double-spacing. Only indent the first line of the quotation by a half inch if you are citing multiple paragraphs. Your parenthetical citation should come after the closing punctuation mark. When quoting verse, maintain original line breaks. (You should maintain double-spacing throughout your essay.)
