Well I came with this command that works and looks like I want:
\newcounter{myquote}[chapter]
\renewcommand{\themyquote}{\arabic{myquote}}
\newcommand{\myquote}[1]{
\refstepcounter{myquote}
\begin{quote}\textbf{T. \themyquote} #1\end{quote}}
Now, I would prefer it to be an environment and not a command. Could
somebody help me to translate this into environment definition. I
tried, but I couldn't.
thanks,
