It's different in different countries.
Swedish law, for instance, doesn't explicitly distinguish between "fair use" 
(in the US: educational and scientific purposes - where you don't need 
permission ) and other types of use. It just says:
"For a quote to be justified it has to be done with a loyal purpose. It's 
permitted to quote parts of someone else's work within the frame of an 
independent work, as a tool for ones representation."
There's no explicit number of  lines, sentences, paragraphs or pages 
mentioned in the commentary to the law.
