The OED (Oxford English Dictionary) online provides words used in sentences with their different meanings. The examples are usually taken from literature. In the UK, many libraries, including county libraries, subscribe to the OED and if you have a library card you can use it online for free.

Otherwise, there are various 'corpus' sites. These allow you to look for specific words, but I don't want to recommend a particular one because it depends on what country you are in and exactly what type of text you want e.g. a spoken language corpus isn't going to be much use to you.
