Like so:

"The quotation opens on one paragraph," the commenter explained, "but is sufficiently long that it needs to span over more than one. The quotation marks do not close at the end of the first paragraph.

"The quotation resumes on a second paragraph, with a corresponding open quote mark. Once the quotation is complete, the mark is closed at last."
