Go inline, but a different indent, face, size.
I was looking at an Anna Katherine Green "The Circular Study" and the Gutenberg ebook has tables (badly done) with a short letter in left column and the letter writer character's thoughts on the right. Even after fixing margins etc it's bad on an 8" Sage using a smaller than comfortable font.
Simply having the letter, then the thoughts sequentially works better and is easier to read.
I actually find both "pull quotes" and the multicolumn for different threads (see also a recent Detective novel with Twitter feeds) harder to follow. You can only read one block of text at a time. So sequential works best. Obviously you can vary the style of the inset sequential block.
If they are quotes from the same page, then it's stupid even on paper (or web), leave it out of ebook.
