Looks great, but you can not use center.

Sure you can.

As the argument of the location key is just passed to \placefigure you can use any valid placefloat keyword.

When using center, the quote is centered, but the text comes after the quote.

A feasible solution. It is eye-catching and easy to read.

And there are many ways to make it fancy: http://layersmagazine.com/indesign-paragraph-rules.html

It would be nice if the text would flow around both sides of the quote,

Do you really think so? How would it look like? A three column layout: text left, pull quote, text right and the text continues in full-width?

This would mark up the text surrounding the pull quote as somehow different than the one preceding and following the pull quote and thus confuse the reader.

I don’t think so because it’s common in magazines but TeX isn’t the best tool for this. • http://www.wyssdesign.com/Wyss_Design_Images/Bookprojects/Wyss_Design_Succes... • http://www.twopeaspublishing.com/assets/sample_pullquote.jpg • http://homeforprofits.com/wp-content/uploads/wikipedia-pullquote.png • http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-2897250-31035/Pictur...
