“Those who do the least, often shout the loudest and so get the most glory.”
― L. Frank Baum, The Complete Oz

“Daylight cannot take the place of Sunlight, which gives us strength and energy. Moonlight is of value when Daylight, worn out with her long watch, retires to rest. If the moon in its course is hidden behind the earth's rim, and my sweet Moonlight cannot cheer us, Starlight takes her place, for the skies always lend her power. Without Firelight we should miss much of our warmth and comfort, as well as much cheer when the walls of houses encompass us. But always, when other lights forsake us, our glorious Electra is ready to flood us with bright rays. As Queen of Light, I love all my maidens, for I know them to be faithful and true.”
― L. Frank Baum, The Complete Oz

“He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope hath He removed like a tree.”
― Diana Gabaldon, A Breath of Snow and Ashes

“With my list'ning and my shouting
I prevent this mount from spouting,
And that makes me so important that I'm glad that I'm alive.”
― L. Frank Baum, The Complete Oz
