I had a look at

http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/The_Simpsons

Can anybody from the foundation board explain to me why these bulk of
copyrighted quotes is "fair use"?

There is the general opinion at Wikiquote that the Exemption Doctrine
Policy (EDP) resp. the Licensing policy is referring only to image or
multi-media use. But browsing Wikiquote one has the impression that
the most part of Wikiquote can only be justified with "fair use".
