*checks the Purdue OWL, since she doesn't have a handbook*
HOLY CRAP! They also say to double-space! I have been writing papers my WHOLE LIFE where the long quotes were single-spaced. WHOLE LIFE! (Well, since high school, anyway.) No one has commented on this! I swear I remember my 12th grade AP English teacher emphasizing that these long quotes get single-spaced. Swear. You are not alone.
The folks at Purdue say to indent each line, though, so at least that part that I've been doing is correct.
