So I’m flipping through the book All Things Oz (which once of those great Chip Kidd-meets-Taschen, collage-style art collections) when I find a section called (I swear to god) “The Legal System in Oz”. These two quotes struck me as particularly funny in light of the current political climate :

No thief, however skillful, can rob one of knowledge, and that is why knowledge is the best and safest treasure to acquire.
- The Lost Princess of Oz, 1917

A good many laws seem foolish to those who understand them, but no law is ever made without some purpose, and that purpose is usually to protect all the people and guard their welfare.
- The Patchwork Girl of Oz, 1913

Where’s a twister when you need one?
