I can't see any reason why not, as long as you attribute it properly. I
believe that the OED uses quotes from sources that are still in copyright.
Also, the entire scientific practice of quoting short sentences from other
people's work would fall apart if this was illegal.

I am often asked how radio works. Well, you see, telegraphy is like a
very long cat. You yank his tail in New York and he meows in Los
Angeles. Do you understand this? Now, radio is exactly the same, except
that there is no cat.                    --Attributed to Albert Einstein
