The formatting of the title of a pamphlet, which is on the divide between a booklet or short book on the one hand and a leaflet or brochure on the other – specifically, whether to italicize the title or place it within quotation marks – is left to editorial discretion at the article in question.
Do not put quotations in italics. Quotation marks (or block quoting) alone are sufficient and the correct ways to denote quotations.
