"You have some queer friends, Dorothy," she said.
"The queerness
doesn't matter so long as they're friends," was the answer.

"Someday they'll fly all over the world, and perhaps bring people even to
the Land of Oz."

Stories for Young Hearts
«A learned college professor recently wrote me to ask: "For readers of what age are your books intended?" It puzzled me to answer that properly, until I had looked over some of the letters I have received. One says: "I'm a little boy 5 years old, and I just love your Oz stories. My sister, who is writing this for me, reads me the Oz books, but I wish I could read them myself." Another letter says: "I'm a great girl 13 years old, so you'll be surprised when I tell you I am not too old for the Oz stories." Here's another letter: "Since I was a young girl I've never missed getting a Baum book for Christmas. I'm married, now, but am as eager to get and read the Oz stories as ever." And still another writes: "My good wife and I, both more than 70 years of age, believe that we find more real enjoyment in your Oz books than in any other books we read." Considering these statements, I wrote the college professor that my books are intended for all those whose hearts are young no matter what their ages may be.»

"Are you quite certain you understand the
language of both the Guilkins and the Muchkins?"
"Quite certain, you Majesty," said Jellia
Jamb, trying hard not to laugh in the face of royalty.
"Then how is that I seem to understand them
myself?" inquired the Scarecrow.
"Because they are
one and the same!" declared the girl, now laughing merrily. "Does not
your Majesty know that in all land of Oz but one language is spoken?"

In the middle of a cyclone the air is generally still, but the great
pressure of the wind on every side of the house raised it up higher and higher,
until it was at the very top of the cyclone; and there it remained and was
carried miles and miles away as easily as you could carry a feather.
