L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum
Imagination has given us the steam engine, the telephone, the talking-machine, and the automobile, for these things had to be dreamed of before they became realities.
L. Frank Baum
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
L. Frank Baum
During the year I stood there I had known was the loss of my heart. While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth.
L. Frank Baum
It's so kind of you to want to visit me in my loneliness. - The Wicked Witch of the West. Now I know I have a heart, because it's breaking. - The Tin Woodsman Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
Lions and tigers, and bears, oh my! - Dorothy in Wizard of Oz
