Block Quote styling

Hi

I’m trying to effect the block quote styling but the custom CSS I am using is not having any effect on the type size – here is the code I am using:

blockquote {
max-width: 1200px;
text-align: left;
margin: 20px;
padding: 20px;
font-family: Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #000000;
background: #dcdedf;
}

No matter how much I change the font size parameter, it wont go smaller and as you can see it’s too large.

Help ??
