"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." - Wizard of Oz from The Wizard of Oz

I really enjoyed the novel 'The Wizard of Oz', although I think this quote is from the movie. It was about a young girl named Dorothy, who was whisked into an unknown land. All she wanted was to return home, but the journey she had to take was a very long one. She was accompanied by a Scarecrow who wanted a brain, a Tin Woodman who wanted a heart, and a Lion who wanted courage. Together, they journeyed along Oz, facing many challenges, but they were able to conquer it. As it turned out, they already had the things they wanted; they just didn't realize they had it. I liked the adventurish feel of this novel, as well as the many values that accompanied it. I loved how the world was built to be both unique and peculiar, and I can say that it would be cool to go to Oz, if possible.
