“For a brief, weird minute I felt like Dorothy in Oz, walking down the street with Terric the doubtful, Shame the brainless, and heartless Zay.”
“This must be what Dorothy felt like, I think. Maybe. If Dorothy was six scared teenagers and Oz was hell.”
“I would rather be a brainless beast than a heartless monster, like you.”
“Katherine -I wondered if this was how Dorothy felt when she woke up in Oz with all the little people squawking ding dong, the witch is dead.”
“..."but there is no doubt they intend to kill us as dead as possible in a short time." - said the Wizard"As dead as poss'ble would be pretty dead, wouldn't it?" asked Dorothy.from "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz”
“One indictment of the religious right is not that it is heartless – a tautology in any case – but that is brainless.”
