Copyright law allows quotations to be used more widely without infringing copyright, as long as the use is fair (in law, the use must be a fair dealing, see the box below) and there is a sufficient acknowledgement which generally means the title and the author's name should be indicated.
Every publisher sets their own threshold of fair use versus requiring permissions. One publisher requires permission for using 25 words or more from any one source, aggregate over the entirety of your book. This means if you quote 16 words in one place and 10 words in another, you must get written permission.
As a common practice, all quotes are copyright to the author, which means that legally you should get permission from the author you hope to borrow from. This can sometimes be very difficult if the author is deceased or a public figure.
According to US copyright law, the legal rights to a quote belong by default to its author (or speaker). Quotes are considered intellectual property, which is protected under the law.
So if you were to use the quote without context you can get fined seriously or sued. No you cannot. These days everybody is trying to sue as much as they can. There are so many lawyers looking to get paid you better believe you would have to pay for the rights.
The American Psychological Association allows authors to cite 400 words in single- text extracts, or 800 words in a series of text extracts, without permission (American Psychological Association, 2010).
You DON'T need permission:To use quotes from famous people as long as they are used in a brief and positive or neutral way to support your independent work - and with proper attribution. To quote or reference the title or author of a work such as books, poems, movies, TV shows or songs.
It's perfectly okay to quote an excerpt of another author's work in your writing, but it's not always okay to do so without permission. If you don't want to be sued for copyright infringement, it's important to know when you need permission and when you don't. And that's not always obvious.
Nope, because you'd be paraphrasing their work and presenting it as your own, and that would still be plagiarism.
