If I quote George Orwell then I imply that I couldn’t come up with anything better to write than George Orwell. The reader should just read George Orwell instead.
But how do people know that they should read George Orwell rather than E.L. James? Quoting other authors is a little advertisement for that author, which can be a very valuable service for the reader.
