Atom is greek for indivisible, meaning it was thought atoms ARE the ultimate building blocks of matter.

We now know we were close, but theres actually things even atoms are made of. For the time being, we dont think there is anything smaller than quarks, but strings have been given as a possibility, but its not too promising.
Right. But my question is, what substances are quarks made up of?

I'm not sure science has learned that yet, which is possible. In that case, "we don't know yet" is a legitimate answer. I'm just wondering if it is known or not.
