“When they throw the water on the witch, she says, “Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickednessâ€�. That line inspired my life. I sometimes say it to myself before I go to sleep, like a prayer.”
John Waters

Terry Pratchett
“What some people need," said Magrat, to the world in general, "is a bit more heart."

"What some people need," said Granny Weatherwax, to the stormy sky, "is a lot more brain."

What I need, thought Nanny Ogg fervently, is a drink.”
Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad

“The term 'flying monkey' is called 'abuse by proxy.' The flying monkeys do the bidding for a narcissist. The term flying monkey was coined in the movie The Wizard of Oz. The flying monkeys were under the wicked witches spell to gang up on poor Dorothy and her friends.”

“The Vampires have a plan to take over the world?" I asked. I felt a bit dumb, gasping in surprise at every twist to the story and incredulously repeating all the important of bits.

Emily McKay, The Farm

Ray Bolger
“They were great philosophies, simple philosophies. That everybody had a heart, everyone had a brain, everyone had courage, these were the gifts that were given to you; and if you use them properly, you reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. And that pot of gold is home. And home is not a house or a boat, it's the people who love you. And the people you love.”
Ray Bolger

Kristina Mahr
“I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without wondering how many times / the Scarecrow had his heart broken / no brain to tell him no / all that courage telling him yes / I wonder if he was desperate from all that hurt / if he'd spend some nights asking the Tin Man if he was a fool / Tin Man saying yes / saying obviously / saying of course / because how could he know / how could he see / with that hole in his chest / where a heart should be.

I can't watch The Wizard of Oz / without walking memory lane like a yellow brick road/ at the end of which / is someone who still loves me.”
Kristina Mahr, Heretic Hearts
