It depends on what format you are using (there are different formats like MLA, APA, etc.)
Here is the quotation reference for MLA (see the section on long quotations):
https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747...
Here is another good guide (again see long quotations for either MLA/APA):

Generally speaking, if it is a full paragraph, you wouldn't want to write "Paragraph 1 reads [specific quotation]", ...
Usually it's recommended you only use shorter partial quotes in your writing, unless you absolutely have to quote the full paragraph.
