A very useful website for finding and researching quotes is http://www.brainyquote.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

They have anywhere from 1 to a dozen pages of quotes for most any famous person you can think of.

Unfortunately, their search function isn't very useful. Instead of the search being contained within the site,
they use Google and then you get overloaded with links that aren't the ones for which you were searching.
