I am using a \begin{quote} ... \end{quote} environment. Is it possible to change the indentation of the quote? Or do I need another package?

Here is a MWE:

\documentclass[oneside,11pt]{book}
\usepackage[semibold,tt=false]{libertine}
\usepackage[
  expansion = false ,
  tracking = smallcaps ,
  letterspace = 40 ,
]{microtype}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
\chapter*{Acknowledgments}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{quote}
{\small This operation is somewhat like the periscope of a submarine. All you see is the three of us, but beneath the surface are thousands and thousands of others.}
\end{quote}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

The quotation is from astronaut Michael Collins, by the way.

Don't reinvent the wheel: you have the quoting package. – Bernard Nov 27 '20 at 17:10

you also need to remove the {} around {\small....} as it is you are getting small text on a normal (over large) baseline. – David Carlisle Nov 27 '20 at 20:51
