Without knowing which method that you are currently using to find quotes, I can't know if my method is "easier." I can give a recommended method though. I think a solid method for obtaining quotes is to find an online digital version of the book that you are reading. Many books have a free PDF version online. Once you have found that, then think of what theme you are going to be writing your essay on. Let's say that you are reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Then let's say that your essay is going to be about prejudice. Part of your job is now to find quotes about prejudice within the actual text. Press "ctrl" and "f" at the same time. That opens up a search window in the top right corner. Type a word that deals with your theme. You could type in "prejudice," "race," "racism," "color," etc. The search will find that word anywhere in the entire document. You just have to scroll from word to word to find a quote that works for you.
