I need to find a proper definition of a quantile. It says: a p-th quantile $x_p$ is a number, that satisfies the following conditions: $$ 0<p<1 $$ and $$ P(X \le x_{p}) \ge p $$ and $$ P(X \ge x_{p}) \ge 1-p $$ is this definition right?

Is this definition of a quantile proper?

Yes, except for $0<p<1$, I would use
$$0 \leq p \leq 1$$
because probability can bei $0$ and $1$, too. The other conditions are fine.
