You really should start by mentioning that you are dealing with the 
spatstat package.

It's not clear to me what you are after.  A minimal reproducible example 
would be helpful.  I presume that by "quadrant" you mean one of the four 
equal sub-windows formed by bisecting your (rectangular) window 
vertically and horizontally.

If my presumption is correct then perhaps

     lapply(split(X),quadratcount,nx=2)

(where "X" is your point pattern) does what you want.  E.g.:

Is this something like what you wish to achieve?
