The original post used this construct:

"Thank you for the correction - my life is so much more richer for
knowing this." , so I don't think the capital in needed after the
hyphen, since it only seems to indicate a pause, not the full stop and
the mandatory capital a period would have forced. However, an
ellipsis in front of the quotes preceding 'my' to indicate the
contraction would have have been the proper way to do it, though, (I
think) or easier yet, just quoting the whole sentence.
Another point - Usually in the case of recursive quotes, the symbols " and '
are alternated to assist the reader.

they'd have her make it over to _exactly_the_same_dimensions_ ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
