Here are a couple of tips for them who wish to find the author of a specific quote, or find the complete quote out from a quotes fragment, etc.

• Try the Usenet discussion group alt.quotations. If you post a question there, it will be read by a lot of helpful people, and if you are lucky some of them will be able to give you the answer.
   
  Read more about Usenet in the article What is Usenet?, and about alt.quotations in alt.quotations FAQ.
   
  
• At Quotations Forum you find further quotes tracking possibilities.
   
  
• A few web sites, both Quotation Ring members and non-members, have large quotations databases with different search facilities.
