Widoczność,ułożenie elementu before.

Chciałabym aby ten cudzysłów był za tekstem. Nadaję elementowi klasy quote z-index 10 i elementowi before 0 ale ni uzyskuje oczekiwanego efektu.

<blockquote class="quote">
				I know quite certainly that I myself have no special talent; curiosity, <mark class="word">obsession</mark>
				<dl class="tooltip">
					<dt class="tooltip-header"> [əbˈseʃ(ə)n]</dt>
					<dd class="definition"><strong>
							Obsession</strong>, a persistent disturbing preoccupation with an often unreasonable idea or feeling.</dd>

				</dl>
				and dogged endurance, combined with self-criticism have brought me to my ideas.
