Honored ContributorI clearly said crystal oscillator in contrast to just a crystal. You would have to design a crystal oscillator around the crystal, e.g. by utilizing an unbuffered inverter. But it's only simple for low frequencies, I strongly suggest to use a ready-made oscillator. Cylone III PLL gives you the option to use nearly any clock input frequency you can realize.
