L. Frank Baum
It must be inconvenient to be made of flesh, said the Scarecrow thoughtfully, for you must sleep, and eat and drink. However, you have brains, and it is worth a lot of bother to be able to think properly.
L. Frank Baum
If we walk far enough, says Dorothy, we shall sometime come to someplace.
L. Frank Baum
I think the world is like a great mirror, and reflects our lives just as we ourselves look upon it.
L. Frank Baum
Dorothy said nothing. Oz had not kept the promise he made her, but he had done his best. So she forgave him. As he said, he was a good man, even if he was a bad Wizard.
L. Frank Baum
