Edit: I should point out that using a 'pre' tag rather than a block quote would seem ideal. The caveat is that you can't use any kind of html generated 'em dash' inside of a pre tag, or at least I don't know of a way to do it. So the only way to use a dash inside a pre is to use something else to represent it like a pair of hyphens: -- or maybe tildas: ~~, but darn it, I want my text to look just like the book!
What you've posted above is a comment with css-like text inside of it - it's not actually css. The text I gave you goes into the conversion settings before you convert the file to epub. If you insert it after conversion you have to do a lot more work as every tag has an id and inserting more generic css like the examples discussed won't override that ID.

btw, if you want an em-dash just use an actual em-dash -there's no need to use html encoding.
