Quote is a verb. Quotation is a noun. e.g. I quoted so-and-so and it is that quotation to which I now refer. Sloppy grammer has given "quote" a secondary meaning as the noun form (see above).

If you want to state it properly, the question would be "what is your opinion about the use of quotations?" Alternatively, "what is you opinion about quoting someone?"

Feel free to quote me on this.
