The beamer version of quote does not start a new paragraph (I don't
know the reason). With \par, \parfillskip is added at the end of the
second line and the output is as expected.
Workaround: Add \par or an empty line before \begin{quote}.

Thanks. Even given that, is the line-breaking not peculiar?
Thanks,
Alan Isaac
PS If anyone knows why the beamer ``quote`` environment
differs in this way, I'd be interested to understand.
