“You’ve always had the power…you just had to learn it for yourself.” –Glinda, the Good Witch ( The Wizard of Oz)įor those unfamiliar with L. During their interactions with Dorothy, each character reveals that they lack at least one critical element needed to live a full, flourishing life.įrank Baum’s literary classic The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its widely celebrated silver screen adaptation, the tale is one of a young girl - Dorothy - who, along with her house and faithful dog, Toto, gets swept up by a tornado and transported to a magical world “over the rainbow.” As Dorothy and Toto negotiate that fantasy world in search of a path home, they meet and befriend three main characters: the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion. For the Tin Man, the missing ingredient is a heart. Together, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Lion provide a framework for analyzing what John Oliver has called “conservatives’ favorite Winston Churchill quote” - which, as Oliver’s segment of the same name makes clear, is not a Churchill quote at all. Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure, you are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Seuss) I’ll hold you in my heart until I can hold you in heaven. As illustrated below, such an analysis reveals that contrary to the Right’s frequent anti-socialism appeals to the quote, it actually paints a negative image of capitalism when taken to its logical conclusion. Here are some of the top memorial quotes for a loved one: Dont cry because its over. Consequently, the end of this commentary puts forward an alternative aphorism that is arguably less “over the rainbow” than the original. Before getting to that point, though, the next section quickly introduces the quotation and who really said it. The Quote and Who Said ItĪ common version of the quote in question appears as the first epigraph to this post.

Every boy, in his journey to become a man, takes an arrow in the center of his heart, in the place of his strength. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.' Oscar Wilde. The origins of this statement are uncertain. Do what you feel in your heart to be right - for you'll be criticized anyway.What is to give light must endure the burning.It is not fair to ask of others what you are not willing to do yourself.When you know to laugh and when to look upon things as too absurd to take seriously, the other person is ashamed to carry through even if he was. Indeed, it has been called an “ orphan quote” due to its ambiguous provenance. I think your position exists to provide those people with freedom. Their work is the heart, the body, and the soul of the companies. If we want greater clarity in our purpose or deeper and more meaningful spiritual lives, vulnerability is the path. Let it be understood at the outset that that is not in any sense a mathe- matical. It is the source of hope, empathy, accountability, and authenticity. However, versions of the quip have manifested in political discourses with striking regularity since the 19th Century. Vulnerability is the birthplace of love, belonging, joy, courage, empathy, and creativity.
