It's a good point, Joe. I did the main page for those unfamiliar with Wikiquote because it is, as Ed noted, a hat tip to an under-loved project.
This is also now up:

Michael and I worked on it here. It's just a status update, not a link post. The Facebook algorithm (and perhaps our fans) rank this higher. The link is in a comment. I will post a few wikiquotes in the comments later on.

Would probably link to the Brave New World page for this, rather than the main page of Wikiquote :) But otherwise looks good.

Do we need "or other diverse titles there"? Otherwise I like those proposals, along with sending out links to Wikiquote in other posts (if Jeff likes the multi-post idea)—this is a rare good opportunity to feature a sister project.

What about this for Facebook?
What do Madame Bovary, Green Eggs and Ham, Nineteen Eighty-Four and Fifty Shades of Gray ((or other diverse titles)) have in common? They were banned by governments. As Banned Books Week wraps up, here's a list of famous books that authorities tried to stamp out -- a reminder of the importance of free information for all.
And then I could post in the comments a few of Victor's awesome quotes.
For Twitter, I love this:
"I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin." #BraveNewWorld #bannedbooksweek https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_banned_by_governments
