Question: Looking for a quote from Wicked!.!?
I saw Wicked recently and I remembered this quote I heard during the play about how everything is influenced by perception and something about how conquerers can be seen as crusaders or invaders!. It fits perfectly to this essay I'm writing now and I would appreciate any input!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That would be a verse from the song Wonderful:

Elphaba: So you lied to them

Wizard: Only verbally!. Besides, they were lies they wanted to hear! Where I'm from, we believe all sorts of things that aren't true!. We call it 'history'
(sings)
A man's called a traitor or liberator
A rich man's a thief or philanthropist
Is one a crusader or ruthless invader!?
It's all in which label
Is able to persist
There are precious few at ease
With moral ambiguities
So we act as though they don't existWww@QuestionHome@Com
