At the moment I have tried the following:
Het probleem {\dontleavehmode
  \framedtext[
    bodyfont=big,
    location=middle,
    style=bold,
    align=middle]{%
      A goal properly set is halfway reached.
      \blank[small]
      Abraham Lincoln}
}
hierbij is dat over het algemeen je niet meer bereikt, dan je probeert te
bereiken. Dus als je de doelen te laag stelt, dan bereik je minder dan
mogelijk is.

It is a start, but there are a few problems:
- I want the citation in the middle.
- There is to much white-space around the citation.
- Only one line flows around the text. I want the text flow completely
around the citation.

I am thinking that it would be better to have the author right aligned and
in a smaller font. Is that a good idea?
