RE: Quoting the masters...

While I'm most definitely not a lawyer, I'm quite certain that posting snippets of books is considered Fair Use and is perfectly legal. If your lawyer is slick you could probably even convince a judge that your quoting a text was for educational purposes which is also a copyright exception under fair use.

So I'm pretty sure it's not a problem.

Yeah, yeah, IANAL, but I've had a lot of classroom (as teacher and student) and lit mag (writer and editor) involvement, so Ive spent a fair amount of time researching Fair Use. ( and i would have gotten away for it if it weren't for those darn kids and their IP attorney dog . . . )
