I am trying to create a motivational quotes document but I can't seem to find a good quote symbol. I have tried looking at all the available fonts but I can't seem to find a good quote symbol. Quotes like the ones below... I know I can just use those but affinity should already have this, it would make it a lot easier to edit colors and etc.

If you’re referring to the available fonts on your computer, try wordmark.it: copy the “curly” quotes from this post and paste them into the box on the linked page.

I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly but it seems like I have to pay for it? 

It only asks me to pay if I want to “Unlock Google Fonts and more helpful features”.

Or as an alternative in AD use the rect and donat tools to make your own (add/combine layers then), you can scale and form it as you like.

See above little AD sample (I've added the AD file), you just have to combound (geometrical add) your final adjusted shape layers then into one then.

Really?? Don’t you have standard fonts such as Times New Roman? :/

According to this reference here, those "Summit Soft Alido 2008, or Summit Soft Arias 2008 ...etc." fonts look to be similar in terms of the above visual shown quotes.

....and no idea what donat is....

Donat is a municipality in the Viamala Region in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

I thought everyone knows that. They invented the Donat ... Dougnot ... Donnought ... Dreadnaught ... D'Oh! That snack Homer eats.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Awesome! thank you.... Also, what are good websites to get free high-quality background photos?

You’re welcome! What kind of backgrounds are you looking for? Nature scenes, textures, geometric patterns, or something else?
