"Almira Gulch! Just because you own half the county doesn't mean that you have the power to run the rest of us. For 23 years, I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you, and now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!"

"[about Toto] He's really gentle... with gentle people, that is."

"You're off to see the Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. You'll find he is a whiz of a Wiz If ever a Wiz there was. If ever, oh ever, a Wiz there was The Wizard of Oz is one because Because, because, because, because, because... Because of the wonderful things he does."

"Ding Dong, the witch is dead, Which old witch? The wicked witch. Ding Dong, the wicked witch is dead!"

"You always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself."

"[to the Wicked Witch of the West] Rubbish! You have no power here! Begone, before somebody drops a house on you too!"

"Only bad witches are ugly."

"[to Dorothy] Are you a good witch or a bad witch?"

"[to the Lion] You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom. Back where I come from, there are men called Heroes, and they have no more courage than you do! But they have one thing you haven't got: a medal."

"[to the Tin Man] Back where I come from, there are men who do nothing all day but good deeds. And their hearts are no bigger than yours is! But they have one thing you haven't got: a testimonial. […] A heart is not judged by how much you love; but by how much you are loved by others."

"Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have. But they have one thing you haven't got: a diploma."

"Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain! The Great Oz has spoken!"

"I AM OZ.... the Great and Powerful! Who are you?"

"[last words; screams shrilly] YOU CURSED BRAT! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE! [melts] I'M MELTING! MELTING! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness?! OHH! LOOK OUT! LOOK OUT! I'M GOING! Ohhhh – Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

"[cackling] Going so soon? I wouldn't hear of it. Why, my little party is just beginning."

"Take your army to the Haunted Forest and bring me that girl and her dog. Do what you like with the others, but I want her alive and unharmed. They'll give you no trouble, I promise you that. I've sent a little insect on ahead to take the fight out of them. [cackles] Take special care of those ruby slippers. I want those most of all. Now, fly! Fly! [The winged monkeys fly out of the castle] Fly, fly, fly!"

"[to Glinda] Very well – I'll bide my time. [to Dorothy] And as for you, my fine lady, it's true I can't attend to you here and now as I'd like; but just try to stay out of my way – just try! I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too! [With a burst of laughter, she whirls around and vanishes in a burst of smoke and fire and a clap of thunder.]"

"In another hour, I'll be king of the forest! LONG LIVE THE KING!"

"Read what my medal says. Courage! Ain't it the truth! ain't it the truth!"

"Courage! What makes the King out of the slave? Courage! What makes the flag on the mast to wave? Courage! What makes the elephant charge his tusk in the misty mist, or the dusky dusk? What makes the muskrat guard his musk? Courage! What makes the Sphinx the Seventh Wonder? Courage! What makes the dawn come up like thunder? Courage! What makes the Hottentot so hot? What puts the ape in apricot? What have they got that I ain't got? (Others: Courage!) You can say it again!"

"[singing] Each rabbit would show respect to me/The chipmunks genuflect to me/Tho’ my tail would lash/I would show compash/For ev’ry underling/If I, if I were king/Just king."

"[singing] Yeah, it's sad, believe me, Missy, When you're born to be the sissy, Without the vim and verve. But I could show my prowess, Be the lion, not the "mouse," If I only had the nerve."

"I’ll fight you both together if you want! I’ll fight you with one paw tied behind my back! I’ll fight you standin’ on one foot! I’ll fight you wit’ my eyes closed!"

"Put 'em up, put 'em up! Which one of ya first?"

"[singing] When a man's an empty kettle, He should be on his mettle, And yet I'm torn apart. Just because I'm presumin' That I could be kinda human If I only had a heart."

"Why, if I had a brain I could... [singing] I could while away the hours, Conferrin' with the flowers, Consultin' with the rain. And my head I'd be scratchin' While my thoughts were busy hatchin' If I only had a brain."

"[last lines] Oh, but anyway, Toto, we're home – home! And this is my room – and you're all here – and I'm not going to leave here ever, ever again, because I love you all! And... oh, Auntie Em, there's no place like home!"

"There's no place like home; there's no place like home; there's no place like home..."

"Well, I... I think that it... that it wasn't enough to just want to see Uncle Henry and Auntie Em... and it's that if I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard; because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with."

"Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore. We must be over the rainbow!"

"Someplace where there isn't any trouble... [tossing a piece of her cruller to Toto] ...do you suppose there is such a place, Toto? There must be. It's not a place you can get to by a boat or train. It's far, far away... behind the moon... beyond the rain. [singing] Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high, There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."

"Give me the child. Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered, I have fought my way here to the castle beyond the Goblin City to take back the child that you have stolen. For my will is as strong as yours, and my kingdom as great — You have no power over me."

"I'll paint you mornings of gold, I'll spin you Valentine evenings... (As the World Falls Down)"

"There's such a sad love deep in your eyes, a kind of pale jewel, opened and closed within your eyes, I'll place the sky within your eyes... (As the World Falls Down)"
