Why not quoting the whole sentence?

I was emailing someone today about implementing something (for PEP
471, as it happens) and wanted to link to the Zen of Python \[1\] and
note a particular clause (in this case "If the implementation is hard
to explain, it's a bad idea."). However, there are no clause numbers,
so you can't refer to specific phrases.
I know it's a short enough document that it probably doesn't matter.
And maybe numbering them would make it less Zen. Would be handy in
code reviews and the like, for example: "Not very Pythonic. See PEP 20
point 5." Is it just my pedantic self, or have others wanted to do
this too?
