If you just want to add lines to end of a file then use append command
Code:
$echo 'Line Insert Test 1
quote> Line 2 Test' >> filename # take a backup of original file if required

If its to insert after a pattern then,
Code:
$sed '/^root/s/.*/& \
quote> Test line 1\
quote> Line 2 to test/' infile > outfile
