The first quote attributed to Nietzsche is actually from Rudyard Kipling, per http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...008AAWhiJB

It's fairly difficult to identify the source of a particular quote, but that one didn't sound like Nietzsche, so I poked around online.

You might start with the best-known works of each person and seek quotes from that work, looking for the ones you want to source.

Wikiquote is usually worth a try for this sort of requirement. It's like Wikipedia, but for quotations instead of encyclopaedic knowledge. It's organised by person, and generally gives the source of the quotation - so if the person is a writer and first said the quote in one of their books, it tells you which book.
