I depends purely on whether the quotes fall into public domain. Many, such as Martin Luther King's famous speech recordings, I think (or hope) are public domain. I've heard two songs released on fairly successful labels over the past 20 years that trigger samples of that speech at length. I would say that a truly anonymous phrase is public domain. Although you don't always know if something is truly public domain or if someone stole it and called it anonymous or public domain. An ancient Chinese proverb or anonymous statement is cool as far as I am concerned.
