Narrow text in LaTeX

Question

I strongly believe this is a duplicate but I didn't find any answers.

My rather simple problem is, that I want to have some part of my text on another textwidth. As seen in the picture below.

You have the quote environment for that. If you need to further customise, see the quoting package. — Bernard, Jun 24 '20 at 19:19
The suggested answers do not mention the more flexible approach to narrowing (or widening) text provided the adjustwidth environment from the changepage package. — Peter Wilson, Jun 25 '20 at 17:19
@PeterWilson: True. The duplicate should also be pointing to How can I change the margins for only part of the text? I've added that. — Werner, Jun 25 '20 at 18:38

This is a quote as @Bernard said. There is a standard LaTeX environment for it \begin{quote} .. \end{quote}. There is also the quotation environment for use with longer quotations, of more than one paragraph, because it indents the first line of each paragraph. For more advanced requirements, there is the quoting package as also noted by @Bernard.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{quote}
\lipsum[2]
\end{quote}
\lipsum[3]
\end{document}
