In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul. — <cite>Invictus</cite>, by William Ernest Henley </blockquote>

If you find yourself using to separate blocks of texts, you may need to think about using paragraph tags or another element. If you are using them to create more space between items, you should use CSS margin.
