Is there an online dictionary that quotes actual passages from literature to show how words are used in context?

Asked by ALM (67points) December 7th, 2008

For example, I would like to find a dictionary where I could type in a word like “animadversion” and see a definition, as well as excerpts from authors (like Mark Twain or David Mccullough) that include the word in context.
