Generally most sites have a 65 words or less limitation on pasting from another copyrighted source.
Here's a recommendation.
Keep the copy and paste brief and credit the original copyrighted site or work.
always link the original source URL! Generally I link it before I paste or comment right at the top, and at the end of my post, that's not a rule but seems to avoid problems as due diligence was used to cite and credit the copyright holder.
Below is a little on the subject so we don't run into problems.

Section 106 of the Copyright Act provides that "Subject to sections 107 through 118, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:
(1) to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords; . . ."
Section 107 provides that
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright.

The four fair use factors
Section 107 provides that
"Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in a particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include --
1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors." Emphasis added.
