The wizard [of Oz] says look inside yourself and find self. God says look inside yourself and find [the Holy Spirit]. The first will get you to Kansas. The latter will get you to heaven. Take your pick.

About This Quote

In "The Wizard of Oz", Dorothy looks inside herself and sees a witch. She becomes terrified and runs from this evil woman who wants to take over her mind and body. In the end of the movie, she is told by a tornado that she can find her courage at home. It is inside herself that she will find the way to explore the world around her and discover what is going on in different places she visits. She has been literally running away from her own inner strength all along.
