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
The Scarecrow watched the Woodman while he worked and said to him I cannot think why this wall is here nor what it is made of. Rest you brains and do not worry about the wall, replied the Woodman, when we have climbed over it we shall know what is on the other side.
L. Frank Baum

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
It seems unfortunate that strong people are usually so disagreeable and overbearing that no one cares for them. In fact, to be different from your fellow creatures is always a misfortune.
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
If your heads were stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in the beautiful places, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you have brains.
L. Frank Baum
It is such an uncomfortable feeling to know one is a fool.
L. Frank Baum
