APA style quotation and citation help?

Question:Quote has to be less than 14 words right?

"quote" (what goes here?).

Is this the right citation form for a book chapter?

(author of book)Last name, first name intial. (date). title of chapter. author of chapter, title of book (pp. 71-118). place of pub.: publisher

Answers:
(last name, Date, pg. 71). --you need the exact page number of the quote for a parenthetical. The rest of it goes at the end of the paper in your list of References. Any decent citation machine should do that for you. try www.citationmachine.net
Try easybib.com. I think it's like 7.00 USD per year or something. It's a good investment if your going to be writing a lot of paper APA style. It offers MLA for free. It's saved me from a lot of pain & agony.
In the parenthesis, you should put the last name of the author or the first name of the title of the source in quotes, a comma, then the year that it was published, another comma, and the page number). If there are more than one article that start with the same word, and which do not have an author, then you can use the first two words of the title, in order to differentiate.

As for the second question, you do not need the author's name for the actual chapter. If it is an anthology, then just put the editors' names, and that will suffice. It should look like this:

Last name of author, first initial. (Year). Title of chapter. In [names of editors] (Eds.), <italicized> Title of book (page numbers [use "pp."]). City where it was published: Name of publishing company.

If there is no author, only editors, then start with the title of the chapter, then year, names of editors, title of book and page numbers, city and name of publishing company.
try www.sourceaid.com; it has many different type of quotation styles, including APA
Chapter authors (Last name, First Name Initial), Date of publication, Chapter title, Book editor(s), Book title, or chapter page numbers, Place of publication, and the name of the publisher.
The correct way to cite in APA is:

(Ormond ((author)), 2006 ((year)), pp. 71-118 ((page numbers))).
