1 " This is what a place like this does to you. It makes you put words in the beaks of chickens. "
― Danielle Paige , No Place Like Oz (Dorothy Must Die, #0.1)
2 " It all happened so fast. Important things always seem to, don't they? "
3 " They say you can't go home again. Well, I'm proof that's not true. Home isn't just where you're born-it's where you belong. I found my home and I let it go. But I came back. Now I was home for good, and I would never, ever make the mistake of leaving again. The past was gone forever. There was no place like here. "
4 " Home isn’t just where you’re born—it’s where you belong. "
5 " I had gotten exactly what I had wanted, and still it wasn't enough. I had wanted. And now I wanted more. "
6 " Miracles are not the same as magic. "
7 " Well, if one's going to daydream, one might as well make it a good one, don't you suppose? "
8 " The thing about the yellow road is that it’s enchanted. It wants you to follow it—not for any devious reason, but just because it likes to have a purpose. It’s very hard to resist a road with such infectious enthusiasm. "
9 " In Oz, it's always right now. "
10 " A Kansas winter will grind a dreamer right up and feed it to the pigs. "
11 " Why come to a place like this and then turn away the secret things it has to offer you? "
12 " It was a scream, but it was also something like a song, too. It was like all the pain and sorrow in the world was being dredged up from the bottom of the earth and was twisting itself into a horrible, tortured melody. "
13 " As unpleasant as it was, though, I wanted to hear it. The only way to understand it was to listen. It was the sound of ravens screeching and rivers running dry, the sound of milk curdling into blood and children being torn from their mothers’ arms. It was the sound of death. The sound of evil. "
14 " It was that wanting I’d known my whole life. All that hope that there was something better out there, something that could be mine and mine alone. "
15 " It was like all the pain and sorrow in the world was being dredged up from the bottom of the earth and was twisting itself into a horrible, tortured melody. "
16 " For everything that’s wonderful, there’s something wicked, too. That’s the price you pay for magic. "
