L. Frank Baum
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.

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
I have learned to regard fame as a will-o-the-wisp...
