What's considered well-written quote?

So, there's been a discourse going around Twitter for months about poorly written prose from fan fiction and how it's affecting people's literacy in contrast to well-worded prose from actually acclaimed literature. I'm not a native English speaker and to be honest, sometimes I find quotes from famous professional writers having almost the same quality as those from eloquent fan fic. I want to ask what's good prose and whatnot. (I would appreciate examples of each)

A well written quote, at it's core, is a drop derived from a sea. Someone finally put it into words, and with simplicity, and or elegance. One of my favorite quotes is from Slaughter-House Five. "So it goes..." Yes, you're right, so it has to go, so it must go, so it goes, there's nuances in the three words, there's reason, thought, and conclusion....... reply
