Quote #10
WIZARD: As for you, my fine friend, you're a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate delusion that simply because you run away from danger, you have no courage. You're confusing courage with wisdom.
Sometimes running away from danger is just plain brilliant, the Wiz seems to be saying. There's no shame in that. This little children's film has a lot of wise stuff to say about what real courage is. Being afraid of fire if you're a scarecrow? That's just smart.
