If your quote is long, you'll either want to use a fairly abstract image for the background (be sure to turn the text background screen on for readability)...

If your quote is a big longer, you can use a multiline slide layout. More about that here: http://blog.haikudeck.com/new-text-and-layout-options/

This is a great place to use Haiku Deck's integrated Creative Commons image search:

...or a solid-color background, like this.

For short quotes, the standard two-line format works perfectly. You can either stretch the quote across the two lines, or use the first line for the quote and the second line for the speech title or the date.

You can close with a recommendation for more information or inspiration, including more detail and links in the Notes if needed.
