I would presume that a short quote with an attribution to its original source would be OK. I believe copyright law allows that.

For example:

Irving Googleplantz, in his 1984 book "Licking the Licorice Stick," states "Don't expect perfection from a reed. Reeds are nothing more than chunks hacked out of a big, dried-up piece of grass."

Life is always trickier than that, but generally, yes.

(The "trickier" part is US Copyright law allows "fair use" for short quotes(whatever that means - but keeping it short & sweet probably meets the presumed intent), but "fair use" is not the law for every country.
