Sam Reviews "The Scarecrow of Oz" by L. Frank Baum (Oz, #9)

"Seems to me ... as how the more we know, the more we find we don't know. ...  Those as knows the least have a habit of thinkin' they know all there is to know, while them as knows the most admits what a turr'ble big world this is.  It's the knowing ones that realize one lifetime ain't long enough to git more'n a few dips o' the oars of knowledge."

"It's a big world, Flipper, my son, and I've heard that in parts of it live queer two-legged creatures called Men, who war upon all other living things and would have little respect for even an Ork."

"Certainly I'm afraid, but if we intend to escape we can't stay on this shelf forever."

"'A young lady cannot decide whom she will love, or choose the most worthy.  Her heart alone decides for her, and whomsoever her heart selects, she must love, whether he amounts to much or not.'  Trot was a little puzzled by this speech, which seemed to her unreasonable; but she made no reply."

"I believe love and cats have nine lives."
