How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Wizard of Oz.
Quote #1
DOROTHY: A place where there isn't any trouble. Do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or a train. It's far, far away. Behind the moon, beyond the rain...
Just your basic Call to Adventure right here, suggesting that Dorothy may be chomping at the bit to get out there and see what there is to see, even if she needs a tornado to do it.
Quote #2
DOROTHY: You are?! Oh, I beg your pardon! But I've never heard of a beautiful witch before.
And now the reason why exploration is so important: it shakes up your sensibilities, shows you things you've never seen before and maybe helps you discard some of your old prejudices. Think witches don't wear ballroom gowns and cruise around in rainbow spheres? Think again!
Quote #3
GLINDA: Just follow the Yellow Brick Road…
Everyone loves the Yellow Brick Road—it's a darn catchy song after all—which serves as the map for Dorothy's exploration. But just like maps don't tell you everything, the Yellow Brick Road can't prepare her for all of the surprises waiting for her. All it can do is point in the general direction.
