How to force latex to put a quote in one line?

Question

I am currently writing a CV on LaTeX. I want to have a quote on the head of my modernCV, but latex puts ONE word into a second line. Can I make LaTeX put all the quote into one line?

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,sans]{moderncv}  
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} 
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc} 
\usepackage{lmodern} 
\moderncvtheme[red]{classic}
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
\firstname{} 
\familyname{} 
\title{\textcolor{red}{\textsc{Curriculum Vit\ae}}} 
\address{}{} 
\mobile{} 
\phone{} 
\email{} 

\quote{\glqq quote \grqq \begin{flushright} -authorname- \end{flushright}}

And I don't mean that the authorname is in a second line (as a matter of fact of \flushright) but that the quote is one word too long to fit into one line.

Answer 1

This TeX code should do the trick (meant to replace quote in your code above):

\hbox to 0pt{\hss quote\hss}

FYI, it puts your quote in a zero-width horizontal box, with infinitely stretchable and shrinkable glue on both sides.
