Something like this?
\definenarrower[myquote]
\setupnarrower[myquote]
[left=2em,
right=1.5em,
before=\dontleavehmode\hskip-0.33em\startquote,
after=\stopquote]
\startmyquote
Im übrigen ist der Mensch ein Lebewesen, das klopft, schlechte Musik macht und
seinen Hund bellen läßt. Manchmal gibt er auch Ruhe, aber dann ist er tot.
\stopmyquote \footnote[f:9]{Kaspar Hauser (Kurt Tucholsky), Weltbühne 24,
16.\,6.\,1931}
But there may be smarter solutions.
Best wishes,
Taco
