Roger Andrew asked E.A. Bucchianeri:

Dear E.A.B. I'm an Australian author from Perth. I've written a book called 'Forgive' which was initially sparked by an estrangement journey ... but later became much more than that. I came across a brilliant quote from you which I would like your blessing to include in the book. Could you please provide me with your email address so that I can explain more? Mine is roger.andrew1@outlook.com. Thank you! Roger

E.A. Bucchianeri Hi Roger, it is completely okay to quote another author in a book or text without permission as long as they are given the credit, i.e. their name is mentioned with the quote, and also, where the quote was originally printed if possible, i.e what, book, text or article, and as long you don't take the original credit as if you yourself wrote it. Major copyright infringement happens if you claim credit for a text you didn't write, or, if you use huge blocks of text that is not for academic analysis beyond what is legally deemed 'fair use', even if you quote the author. Quotes are fine. Feel free to use a quote! God bless.
