"Ahhhh!
You cursed brat, look what you've done! I'm melting... melting." --The Wicked Witch of the West.
"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain!" --The Wizard of Oz.
"Shucks
folks, I'm speechless." --The Lion.
"And remember, my sentimental friend, that a heart is not judged by how
much you love, but by how much you are loved by others." --The Wizard of Oz.
"The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles
triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side." --The
Scarecrow. (This is WRONG, by the way. The sum of the squares
of the two legs of any right triangle is equal to the square of
the hypotenuse (longest side).)
"Frightened? You are talking to a man who has laughed in the face of
death, sneered at doom, chuckled at catastrophe! I was petrified." --The
Wizard of Oz.
"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't
look any further than my own backyard, because if it isn't there, I never
really lost it to begin with." --Dorothy.
"Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home! Home! And this is my room
- and you're all here! And I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again,
because I love you all! And - Oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"
--Dorothy.
The Ruby Slippers have quite a history of their own. Did you know
that there has even been a book written about them? It's called The Ruby
Slippers of Oz by Rhys Thomas. To find out more about these famous
shoes, check out Jim's
Ruby Slippers Page. Or, if you read Italian, read my paper on
Le scarpette di rubino. And don't forget to visit the famous

Slippers in the Smithsonian.
