Question: Wizard of Oz Quote Mystery!?
"If I ever go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own backyard, because if it isn't there, I never really lost it to begin with!."
i've tried wrapping my head around it, and i can't get it!! It's driving me crazy!
what i'm having trouble with is the part that says "if it ISN'T there, then i never lost it in the first place!."
is it that your supposed to dream for bigger things!? if what you're dreaming for isn't in your backyard, then that's good!. it shouldn't be!.
