I need to put a multi-line quote in a figure caption. I've put code together that does this correctly if I override several errors, but I'd like the document to compile without errors.
The code:
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width = 6in]{myfigure.png}
\end{center}
\caption[Reproduced from foo.]{text.
\begin{quote}
Quoted text from reproduction
\end{quote}
No really this is important.}\label{mylabel}
\end{figure}
The error I get is:
./chap1.tex:166: LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.
Thanks for the help.

Please always post complete documents showing the class used.
In the standard classes the caption is set twice once as a single line to see if it fits, and then as a paragraph if not, the single line trial generates the error if you use a display environment.
You can turn this off with the caption package:
