The Wizard Of Oz Quotes

“I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without wondering how many times / the Scarecrow had his heart broken / no brain to tell him no / all that courage telling him yes / I wonder if he was desperate from all that hurt / if he'd spend some nights asking the Tin Man if he was a fool / Tin Man saying yes / saying obviously / saying of course / because how could he know / how could he see / with that hole in his chest / where a heart should be.

I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without walking memory lane like a yellow brick road/ at the end of which / is someone who still loves me.”
― Kristina Mahr, Heretic Hearts

And that pot of gold is home. And home is not a house or a boat, it's the people who love you. And the people you love.”
― Ray Bolger
