“I shall take the heart. [...] For brains do not make one happy, and happiness is the best thing in the world.”

L. Frank Baum The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“I think you are wrong to want a heart. It makes most people unhappy. If you only knew it, you are in luck not to have a heart.”

L. Frank Baum The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

“A baby has brains, but it doesn't know much. Experience is the only thing that brings knowledge, and the longer you are on earth the more experience you are sure to get.”
