quotes by L. Frank Baum
"Toto, I have a felling we're not in Kansas anymore."
— L. Frank Baum (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Signet Classics))
— L. Frank Baum (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Signet Classics))
"As they passed the rows of houses they saw through the open doors that men were sweeping and dusting and washing dishes, while the women sat around in groups, gossiping and laughing.
'What has happened?' the Scarecrow asked a sad-looking man with a bushy beard, who wore an apron and was wheeling a baby carriage along the sidewalk.
'Why, we've had a revolution, your Majesty -- as you ought to know very well,' replied the man; 'and since you went away the women have been running things to suit themselves. I'm glad you have decided to come back and restore order, for doing housework and minding the children is wearing out the strength of every man in the Emerald City.'
'Hm!' said the Scarecrow, thoughtfully. 'If it is such hard work as you say, how did the women manage it so easily?'
'I really do not know,' replied the man, with a deep sigh. 'Perhaps the women are made of cast-iron.'"
— L. Frank Baum (The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Signet Classics))

"'That proves you are unusual,' returned the Scarecrow; 'and I am convinced that the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.'"
