Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies, with Uncle Henry, who was a farmer, and Aunt Em, who was the farmer?s wife. (Pos. 43)
?No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home.? (Pos. 277)
?Oh yes; I am anxious,? returned the Scarecrow. ?It is such an uncomfortable feeling to know one is a fool.? (Pos. 309)
?I shall take the heart,? returned the Tin Woodman; ?for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.? (Pos. 403)
?Can?t you give me brains?? asked the Scarecrow. ?You don?t need them. You are learning something every day. A baby has brains, but it doesn?t know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get.? (Pos. 1317)
?But how about my courage?? asked the Lion, anxiously. ?You have plenty of courage, I am sure,? answered Oz. ?All you need is confidence in yourself. There is no living thing that is not afraid when it faces danger. True courage is in facing danger when you are afraid, and that kind of courage you have in plenty.? (Pos. 1324)
?How can I help being a humbug,? he said, ?when all these people make me do things that everybody knows can?t be done? It was easy to make the Scarecrow and the Lion and the Woodman happy, because they imagined I could do anything. But it will take more than imagination to carry Dorothy back to Kansas, and I?m sure I don?t know how it can be done.? (Pos. 1383)
