Dorothy: Weren't you frightened? Wizard of Oz: Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of death, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified.
[the Cowardly Lion has just received a Courage Medal from the Wizard of Oz] Cowardly Lion: Shucks, folks, I'm speechless. Ha Ha!
Wizard of Oz: You people should consider yourselves lucky that I'm granting you an audience tomorrow instead of 20 years from now.
I want to do transformational work to actually fix the world.
Wizard of Oz: You, my friend, are a victim of disorganized thinking. You are under the unfortunate impression that just because you run away you have no courage; you're confusing courage with wisdom.
Wizard of Oz: As for you, my galvanized friend, you want a heart. You don't know how lucky you are not to HAVE one! Hearts will NEVER be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
Toto did not really care whether he was in Kansas or the Land of Oz so long as Dorothy was with him; but he knew the little girl was unhappy, and that made him unhappy too.

Dorothy: [in the Wizard's Throne Room with the three others, having returned from the Witch's castle] Please, sir. We've done what you told us. We brought you the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West. We melted her! Wizard of Oz: Oh, you liquid...
It is totally unacceptable that there are countries with no paediatric cardiac surgeries.
As a heart surgeon I am on constant call, and when not researching or giving lectures, I like to be with my family.
I like to look for patterns in science and life. It's what I do.
You don't inherit cancer; you actually get it.
Zeke: It's a twister! It's a twister!
The pancreas is by far the most complex organ in the body.
Wizard of Oz: Why, anybody can have a brain. That's a very mediocre commodity. Every pusillanimous creature that crawls on the Earth or slinks through slimy seas has a brain. Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, wher...
