It depends how interesting and/or relevant it is.

Dune actually only has quotes (imaginary) separating "chapters".
Most of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels have simple scene breaks and no chapter breaks*. Footnotes are annoying in fiction and eventually Pratchett stopped doing them. They also don't work well (or at all sometimes) in real ebooks as they don't have design-time pages.
[* some others seem to lack chapters]

@raymaccarthy I know people don't like footnotes, but I guess I'm the odd one there because Ihonestly I loved the footnotes in Pratchett's earlier works and was sad to see them go...

I guess overall I'm less worried about the design and more about what the quote itself adds to the story 🤔

@NickEast_IndieWriter
I edited a novel with 100s of footnotes.
Many were simply that the author was enamoured with Pratchett's style and the content could be put in dialogue or narration. Short ones work well as a kind of marginalia: put them after the paragraph but slightly smaller, a clean Sans & right justified in [ ].
The remaining long ones as "end notes" after the chapter (but linked by word & number, & linked back) in ebooks, but as real footnotes on paper.

Academic works need them.
