I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.

Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could all be a little more gentle with each other, and a little more loving, have a little more empathy, and maybe we'd like each other a little bit more.

Behind every cloud is another cloud.

The greatest treasures are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart.

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people.

I can live without money, but I cannot live without love.

The hope of hardships!

Faith is freedom.

I don't really care about clothes, but it's about wearing something that gives you social confidence.

Power, like fear, had a taste. But power tasted better.

Living in an inner state of vulnerability is a powerful practice that opens our hearts, causing us to live in a state of gratitude for our life and life itself.

It's funny - there's nothing that stops you laughing like the sight of other people laughing about something else.

If you must love your neighbor as yourself, it is at least as fair to love yourself as your neighbor.
