Just that, if you already have a narrow screen with short lines, and add both left and right margin, you may be left with ultra-short lines in the blockquote. Reasonable top, left and bottom margin should be enough to set the blockquote apart from the surrounding text. As an aside, don't force justification if you're not doing it for the main text (and you shouldn't). Another "trick" I sometimes use is replacing text-indent inside the blockquote with some vertical spacing between paragraphs (not a full line, something like 0.5em).
