I have a few questions for my resume that I'm making with moderncv
. Firstly here's my code :
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{moderncv}
% moderncv themes
\moderncvtheme[orange]{casual}
% character encoding
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lipsum} % Just for dummy text
% adjust the page margins
\usepackage[scale=0.8]{geometry}
% personal data
\firstname{John}
\familyname{Doe}
\title{Software Developer}
\address{Earth}{Universe}
\mobile{+123456789}
\email{[email protected]}
\definecolor{dark-gray}{gray}{0.20}
\quote{{\raggedright\color{dark-gray}\lipsum[2]}}
% to show numerical labels in the bibliography; only useful if you make citations in your resume
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\bibliographyitemlabel}{\@biblabel{\arabic{enumiv}}}
\makeatother

So:
How do increase the coverage area (width wise) of the quote section so that it starts at the absolute left and span to maximum right of page (in the allowed maximum A4 margin)?
How do I reduce the gap between the Quote section and Skills?
In the first position in Experience, I wanted a line after the designation etc. However, when I add
\newline
(after Universe), it results in two problems :a. There is a fullstop in an empty line
b. The whole block shifts to the second page (leaving most of page 1 blank) and I need it to continue to the next.
Would really appreciate some help since I've tried some syntax on my own, but just can't get it right.
Thank you.

section and the{\lipsum[6]
part. Also needed a way so that the whole\cventry
does not shift to page 2, but continues from page 1 into page 2. Hope that clarifies things.
