Currently we receive notifications of nothing, so getting a note saying we've been quoted seems to be of little significance compared to getting a notification about our guides/threads/replies to our comments.
I don't mind the idea, but it doesn't really seem that entirely necessary.
What would be nice is if you could "tag" someone in your post, and get a notification that way.
So if I wrote something in the Off Topic forum but forgot about it, someone could reply to my comment with @jhoijhoi, and it'd send me a notification. This has been discussed elsewhere and I still think it's a solid idea.

You need to log in before commenting.
I just came upon this. I can only imagine that some people must have requested to know who they are +Repped from before, but that's not what I'm asking.
This system would only be counting if you are not quoted within a quote, meaning that only direct quotes would make the notification appear. This way you won't get spammed when someone quotes a quote of a quote of a quote of a quote, and another quotes just that. Not that I see that too often, but in the case of it, it would be quite annoying, I suppose.
Anyways, some of the possibilities this grants, is that it enables you to follow up on conversations you have with someone else, as well as people who choose to +Rep someone for something, can quote what they say, or just part of what they said (the funny part), and say that they +Repped. - This is something that loads of people do already, and it's a pain to look through all your posts to try to find a post that says "+Rep" after yours.
Anyways. ^Just a thought.
