I believe copyright laws typically allow quotations, since otherwise it'd be impossible to have any kind of scientific work. Under US law, this is part of "fair use". I'm not as familiar with French law, but I believe it permits quotations in these kinds of conditions, as long as they are "Analyses and short citations justified by the critical, polemical, scientific or pedagogical nature of the work" and have attribution.
