The easiest way, as there are not much lines of code to change, is
probably the use the copy/paste finctions of your text editor.

Look at the patch file.  It shows the DIFFerences between the unpatched
Quote.pm file and the patched one.
The lines that start with a "-" (minus) sign are the lines to remove;
and the lines that start with a "+" (plus) are the lines to add.

Now find your Quote.pm file and open it with a text editor.  Search for
the first lines that are shown with a "-" in the patch, and remove them.
At that place, add the following lines from the patch that start with a "+"
(don't copy/paste the "+ " at the begining of the lines).
Go on for the other lines to remove/replace.

That's it, you have the patched version.

Note: make a backup of the original Quote.pm first, just in case
something goes wrong.
