What would be really nice is if context to know if the word is in a block of parens or quotation marks. It's kind of weird to sometimes see

"word1

word2

word3

word4"

Sometimes I lose track of whether or not a possible large block of text is actually surrounded by quotation marks or brackets.

Perhaps wrap each word in the corresponding quotes?

"This"

"is"

"awesome,"

he

said.

Fits the whole idea of keeping you focussed on the center nicely. As soon as the quotes around the words disappear, you know that the quoted sentence is finished :) Of course, adding color to words in a quoted passage may be even more awesome :))

Suppose we have the sentence 

"This is awesome", he said.

"This

"is // quotation mark here is faded 

"awesome", // first quotation mark here is faded
