As in 'to quote Oscar Wilde...'
Just citar? I used para: 'Para citar Jack de perdidos....' I don't know why.

Yes, you can use para citar, but you need the personal A.

Para citar a mi hermano, ...

You can also say:

Como decía mi hermano,...
As my brother used to say

or

Como dijo Lincoln,...
As Lincoln said/To quote Lincoln,...
