Re: Protection for quote under copyright

No more than quoting any famous speaker...The copyright in the quote belongs to the person who spoke it, not the author of the article. Using the quote in the original article is presumably with permission of the speaker, or fair use, or both, and the same principles should apply for every subsequent article after that.
