You can copy the relevant text and paste it into your new thread, then click the syntax mark to the left of the pasted paragraphs and set the style to be a quote.

Don't forget to add credit to the person who wrote it.
...
Or you could just hyperlink to the comment:
Go to the comment you want to quote, right click the time stamp under the name of the person who made it and copy the link. You can then paste it into your new comment and hit return. Providing the quoted comment isn't a mile long it should appear in a box.
