Modifying org-quote blocks

[Divya Ranjan]

I have been trying to modify my org-blocks that pertain to quotes. I have tried 
setting the variable `org-fontify-quote-and-blocks` to `t` but that doesn't 
really do anything. I still get `fixed-pitch` font in quote blocks. I would 
want to be able to modify the background and font nature of quote blocks, for 
e.g., changing the `fixed-pitch` font to `variable-pitch` font and maybe change 
the background color a bit.

I also intend to set the text inside any quote block to be automatically 
indented and italicized, so that it looks promimnent from the rest of the text.

I have tried to look through the mailing list to find something, but what I got 
[0] wasn't really of much help, would be glad if someone can give me a hint or 
two.
