Why do Zen Masters quote books ALL THE TIME?

A couple of questions that occur to me:

  1. What is the purpose?
  2. What is the consequence?
  3. What is happening when Zen Masters bring up these books?
  4. What contrast is there with other people bring up books in other traditions?

I was trying to think of the least quotin'est Zen Master I could think of and I hit on Pang, so I grabbed the book and flipped though it... tough to find any.

But every Case is about stuff that comes from books. What about that?
