"What is that little animal you are so tender of?"
"He is my dog, Toto," answered Dorothy.
"Is he made of tin, or stuffed?" asked the Lion.
"Neither. He`s a — a — a meat dog," said the girl.
...but as the hours passed and nothing terrible happened, she stopped worrying and resolved to wait calmly and see what the future would bring.
"I shall ask for brains instead of a heart; for a fool would not know what to do with a heart if he had one.""I shall take the heart," returned the Tin Woodman; "for brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world."
"I don't mind my legs and arms and body being stuffed, because I cannot get hurt. If anyone treads on my toes or sticks a pin into me, it doesn't matter, for I can't feel it. But I do not want people to call me a fool, and if my head stays stuffed with straw instead of with brains, as yours is, how am I ever to know anything?"
Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge
From Chapter 6Thereafter he walked very carefully, with his eyes on the road, and when he saw a tiny ant toiling by he would step over it, so as not to harm it. The Tin Woodman knew very well he had no heart, and therefore he took great care never to be cruel or unkind to anything."You people with hearts," he said, "have something to guide you, and need never do wrong; but I have no heart, and so I must be very careful. When Oz gives me a heart of course I needn't mind so much."
From Chapter 4"Tell me something about yourself and the country you came from," said the Scarecrow, when she had finished her dinner. So she told him all about Kansas, and how gray everything was there, and how the cyclone had carried her to this queer Land of Oz.The Scarecrow listened carefully, and said, "I cannot understand why you should wish to leave this beautiful country and go back to the dry, gray place you call Kansas."
"That is because you have no brains" answered the girl. "No matter how dreary and gray our homes are, we people of flesh and blood would rather live there than in any other country, be it ever so beautiful. There is no place like home."The Scarecrow sighed."Of course I cannot understand it," he said. "If your heads were stuffed with straw, like mine, you would probably all live in the beautiful places, and then Kansas would have no people at all. It is fortunate for Kansas that you have brains."
- Никак не могу взять в толк, почему тебе так хочется покинуть эту замечательную и прекрасную страну и вернуться в унылое, засушливое место, которое ты называешь Канзасом.
- Ты не можешь понять, потому что у тебя нет мозгов,- ответила девочка.
- Мы, люди из плоти и крови, любим жить у себя на родине, даже если есть страны и покрасивее. Нет места лучше, чем родной дом.
Страшила только вздохнул:
- Конечно, где уж мне вас понять. Если бы ваши головы, как моя, были набиты соломой, вы бы все отправились жить в прекрасные страны, а ваш Канзас совсем опустел бы. Канзасу сильно повезло, что в нем живут люди с настоящими мозгами!
The greatest loss I had known was the loss od my heart. While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth; but no one can love who has no heart.
From Chapter 23"By means of the Golden Cap I shall command the Winged Monkeys to carry you to the gates of the Emerald City," said Glinda, "for it would be a shame to deprive the people of so wonderful a ruler.""Am I really wonderful?" asked the Scarecrow."You are unusual," replied Glinda.
