Great analogy. Quantity yields quality.

I read somewhere that The Wizard of Oz was an elaborate allegory about fin-de-siècle American politics. Oz refers to the gold standard, blah blah blah. Maybe Dorothy had to go on her little adventure to satisfy the author-wizard's zeal for obscurantism. Besides, I don't really want to go home. Home is kind of dull.

To make matters worse, she trapped herself in this troubled adventure within her subconscious since it was all a dream. That’s what we do. We get lost in the daydream of making it big that we just forget to just MAKE it!
