I did that for one on my site but I didn't need multiple lines of text. This would be a huge task for a long paragraph.

its fun getting the spacing between paragraphs if you attempt a whole page in one block, I did it once and it looked ok

But if he used a block for each paragraph, which is what he appears to be doing at present, its really very quick and simple.

Mind you thats my usual non techy no code approach, everything takes me longer than it would if i was a coder

in fact for his page of quotes, it could be advantageous, as he could create interesting borders for each quote

sounds interesting but my back drop is gradient picture it be hard to match the color

any way I have sort of tossed what i had for now until I get more time
