This functionality is currently available on mobile but not desktop. When you select Retweet for a given tweet on the Twitter iPhone app or on mobile.twitter.com [ http://mobile.twitter.com ], you have the option of either posting a "Retweet" (posts the tweet directly onto your Twitter profile page and the Twitter feeds of your followers without commentary) or posting a "Quote Tweet" (posts the tweet within quotation marks and allows you to manually add commentary, all of which posts on your Twitter profile page and the Twitter feeds of your followers).

However, on either mobile or desktop, if you copy a tweet's link, you can paste it into your own tweet and add your own commentary. When you post this tweet, Twitter will display your commentary and an embedded image of the original tweet you copied. For what it's worth, the result looks very cool.

Click the retweet icon and choose “Retweet with Comment”

The Retweet with comment is a “quote retweet”

You can also paste the url of a tweet into a new tweet and it will come out as a quote retweet.

I don't think the web version of Twitter has any option to quote tweet but the mobile version surely does. For the mobile version, to quote a tweet, use the following steps:
1) Click on the Retweet button of the tweet you want to quote.
2) Select the 'Quote' option.

This is what Twitter Help says regarding the issue: The Quote Tweet feature is only available on our mobile apps at this time.

I don’t know if it’s called “quoting” but on Twitter desktop you can add your own comment to a tweet by simply clicking the retweet button.

When you click it, a pop-up shows up with a text field + the original tweet and that’s where you can add your own comment. If you do so, you’re quoting the tweet. If not, the tweet will be retweeted as normal.
