The difference between including the bible/quran, and including
[random mumblings of current-day poets/philosophers/lunatics] is that
some people actually need/want to reference them.

Even atheists can get use out of the bible package. When some lunatic
preacher comes and claims something, then can do a grep or something, and
say "YOU! You are possesed by SATAN. You are going against HIS WORDS!!!"
and then watch them turn themselves inside out.

Whereas random other stuff is not historical, it is merely opinion or 
"art" if you prefer.

ANd I submit that the section should be "reference".
Which is kind of like "dictionary", I suppose.
