"Evil isn't a thing, it's a person, it's an attribute like beauty..." "It's a power, like wind..." "It's an infection..." "It's metaphysical, essentially: the corruptibility of creation-"

"People who claim that they're evil are usually no worse than the rest of us... It's people who claim that they're good, or anyway better than the rest of us, that you have to be wary of." - Boq from Wicked

"I'm no pawn... I take all the credit in the world for my own foolishness. Good gracious, dear, all of life is a spell. You know that. But you do have some choice." - Glinda from Wicked

"Cross a man, and you struggle, one of you wins, you adjust and go on - or you lie there dead. Cross a woman and the universe is changed, once again, for cold anger requires an eternal vigilance in all matters of slight and offense." - Sarima from Wicked

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothings going to get better. It's not." - The Lorax

"Which way does a tree fall? A tree falls the way it leans. Be careful which way you lean." - The Lorax

"When the times are crucible, when the air is full of crisis... those who are the most themselves are the victims."

"Such silly things, children - and so embarrassing - because they keep changing themselves out of shame, out of a need to be loved or something. While animals are born who they are, accept it, and that is that. They live with greater peace than people do." - Elphaba from Wicked

"She reminded herself that she was in charge. And thus she could afford to be kind." - Sarima from Wicked
