Page Layout ⇒ Making quote environment wider

[Yeats]

Anyway the reason I was trying with \renewcommand was because I found out that both font size of the quote and the vertical space between the quote and the main text are regulated by changing \renewcommand, so I assumed it can be done with the width too. Now I know better.

Just for the record, if anybody ever bumps to this thread the code for the font size change is:

\renewcommand\quote{\par\singlespacing\small\oldquote}
\let\oldquotation\quotation
\renewcommand\quotation{\par\singlespacing\small\oldquotation}
\let\oldverse\verse
\renewcommand\verse{\par\singlespacing\small\oldverse}

What you found out about macros needs going a little more into details concerning environments. You can consider any environment as a group that is introduced by an \envname and ended by an \endenvname command. You can see that in the declaration of the quote environment above where you can find a \list and \endlist command which represents nothing more than a list environment.
