That's nothing so significant,really. There are many examples of historically and modern day wonderful masters (I mean wonderful in the sense of being HELPFUL) who rarely quoted scriptures or didn't at all. Bankei comes to mind. Jesus Christ of course, and John the Baptist before him. Meister Eckhart did, but basically only to put into question every single one of them (how that one escaped ex-communion nobody knows lol), Diogenes the Cynic, Nisargadatta, nowadays some people in the US like Ben Smythe, Francis Lucille, Byron Katie...
