"Then he remembered that it was no fun being angry unless he had someone to frighten and make miserable."
"The reason most people are bad is because they don't try to be good."
"People often do a good deed without hope of reward, but for an evil deed they always demand payment."
I find it funny that after Uncle Henry and Aunt Em get to Oz they are given separate bedrooms. Suppose it has to do with the times.
"[The School Pills] are sugar-coated and are quickly and easily swallowed. I believe the students would rather take the pills than study, and certainly the pills are a more effective method.
