If you want to put this text inside a legend, you can do:

legend('Some quick information','location','EastOutside')

This is the easiest. However, for more control, you can place the text box inside the picture window:

MyBox = uicontrol('style','text')
set(MyBox,'String','Here is a lot more information')

and move it with:

set(MyBox,'Position',[xpos,ypos,xsize,ysize])

Try this for short text:

plot(1:5);
text(5.05, 2.5, 'outside', 'clipping', 'off');

Or this solution for more complex annotations:
