Has Ecclesiastes never been quoted?

You'd think it would have been. It was the basis for a major pop song in the '60s, "Turn! Turn! Turn!" by The Byrds.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking of, plus “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas.

I quote it loads when talking about software I've written. Usually Ecclesiastes 1

Right! I was wondering the same thing. “A time for…” blah blah blah HAS to have been quoted. I wonder if it was omitted accidentally.

I was totally looking for Ecclesiastes, and am quite disappointed that it appears to be missing. So much beautiful poetry in that book.

It has at least once that I can think of. The Dresden Files, Ghost Story.
