Well, you must choose what do you want. If you let LaTeX fully justify your
text, you don't control line endings, otherwise you can put \\ to say 'Hey
I want a line ending here'.
If you want a shorter quoting you could use a different size to \parbox.
As an example you can use * \parbox{0.7\linewidth}*
to limit the parbox to 70% of your linewidth.
Cheers,
