This is the passage that I am trying to quote.
"What is the rarest of animals" ... "The white tiger" "That's what you are, in this jungle."
The " " above are all dialogue.
This is how I did it:
""What is the rarest of animals" ... "The white tiger" "That's what you are, in this jungle.""
Is this correct?

One convention used to nest quotes is to use single quotes and double quotes alternatively for different levels.
