Thats 'fair use', and I think the permission to quote is a little more
extensive that you make out. Basically you can quote in moderation as long
a you give credit, and as long as you are saying something about the text
(even if that is just agreeing with it). No plagarism (not giving credit),
and nothing that looks like wholesale reproduction.
