Sans Serif Font For Quote paragraphs

How can I change the fonts to sans serif (and change the font size) for
the Quote and Quotation Paragraphs?

At present in document/fonts I have the following settings:

Default Family: Roman
Roman         : Latin Modern Roman
Sans Serif    : Latin Modern Sans
Typewriter    : Latin Modern Typewriter

But sans serif fonts are not used at all. If I change Default Family to
Sans Serif then only sans serif fonts are used. So I know the sans serif
fonts are available.

PS I'm using the Memoir class, if perhaps that makes a difference.

If you still need the special indentation, modify the definitions I posted as 
follows:

\renewenvironment{quote}%
               {\sffamily\small\list{}{\rightmargin\z@}%
                \item[]}%
               {\endlist}

\renewenvironment{quotation}%
               {\sffamily\small\list{}{\listparindent 1.5em%
                        \itemindent    \listparindent
                        \rightmargin   \z@
                        \parsep        \z@ \@plus\p@}%
                \item[]}%
               {\endlist}

Replace \small with whatever font size you want.
