Where can I find 1001 Nights quotations based on the story?

Aside from getting them from the actual book, 1001 Arabian Nights, try Google, Yahoo, Onlinequotes.

One way to do this would be to download the entire text of the most famous translation by Richard Burton. It is available at Project Gutenberg (below) among other places. You’ll be asked to choose a format, and the ‘zipped plain text’ will work just fine. After that, use your computer to “Find” a prominent word in the quotation you are seeking.

Example, I tried “Open sesame” for sixteen long volumes. I eventually found the phrase on the 628th of the 1001 nights, in volume 13, but only by searching under “Ali Baba.” “Open sesame” was rendered “O simsim.” That’s the problem when you look for a quote in, not only another language, but another alphabet. It took a while, but it surely beat trying to find two words in a foot-long shelf of books.

Good lick with your quotation, whatever it is.
