L. Frank Baum

L. Frank Baum

The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
L. Frank Baum
Familiarity with any great thing removes our awe of it.
L. Frank Baum
You people with hearts,' he said once, 'have something to guide you, and need never do wrong but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful.
L. Frank Baum
To be angry once in a while is really good fun, because it makes others so miserable. But to be angry morning, noon and night, as I am, grows monotonous and prevents my gaining any other pleasure in life.
L. Frank Baum
Oh, if Shakespeare says it, that's all right.
L. Frank Baum
Toto did not really care whether he was in Kansas or the Land of Oz so long as Dorothy was with him but he knew the little girl was unhappy, and that made him unhappy too.
L. Frank Baum
Imagination has brought mankind through the dark ages to its present state of civilization. Imagination led Columbus to discover America. Imagination led Franklin to discover electricity.
L. Frank Baum
I'll miss you most of all scarecrow.
L. Frank Baum
I can't give you a brain, but I can give you a diploma.
L. Frank Baum
