14 Judy Garland Quotes to Celebrate the Birthday of Oz's Star
Author: Noel Jameson
Ready for a few Judy Garland quotes to remember her by on the anniversary of her birth? They might not be what you're expecting. While many of us remember Judy as the happy-go-lucky Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz, there was much more to her than just that.
For instance, she was the mother of world-famous Liza Minelli! Not many people know that one. She was also very under-appreciated and conflicted during her lifetime. If you want to get to know the real Judy, these fourteen quotes are a good place to start.
1. "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
2. "How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child."
3. "If I'm such a legend, then why am I so lonely? Let me tell you, legends are all very well if you've got somebody around who loves you."
4. "We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality."
5. "I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot."
6. "My life, my career has been like a roller coaster. I've either been an enormous success or just a down-and-out failure."
7. "Behind every cloud is another cloud."
8. "I can live without money, but I cannot live without love."
9. "In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people."
10. "I'm the original take-orders girl."
11. "It's lonely and cold on the top... lonely and cold."
12. "I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it."
13. "For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul."
14. "I've never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back."
When the world lost Judy Garland, we lost someone special. She didn't just sing about "over the rainbow", she really believed in it. Perhaps she finally made her way there. After all, it's been rumored that a tornado hit Kansas on the day of Judy's death. On the anniversary of her birthday, let's remember her for the amazing person she was and the legacy she left behind with these fourteen Judy Garland quotes.

wizard of oz tattoo?
i want a wizard of oz tattoo.
i drew up an idea of what i want… but i am not an artist at all haha. im just wondering if i can go to a tattoo parlor and if they will usually draw it up for me and if i do not like it do i still have to get it done there? or will he fix it for my liking? idk. i want a good artist bc its pretty specific of what i want.
i want like, a light cloud in the background… “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” in a pretty text, slightly slanted… a tiny blue bird by the cloud and poppies all around
it sounds messy from the description but the idea and sketch i have is cute…
idk ! it will be my first tattoo
Thank you guys so much! The answers helped a lot.
Also, Lol… I don’t want it to be thaaat big and I was thinking it’s way too big for my wrist though. Some suggestions for where would be great! I was thinking below my neck but I kind of dont want it there.. I don’t want to look trashy for my wedding or for anyone else’s weddings or anything lol. I was thinking on my lower back towards my side or on the side of my ribs.. or on the side of my hips (not on front…but exactly on the side)
Some artists will charge to redraw a design, but not all (my certainly did not).
Usually if you give them your drawing they can fix it up some, make suggestions, and make changes upon your request. You just need to schedule an appointment and tell them you need help with your design before getting tattooed.
Be sure to check out the artist’s portfolio before making your appointment and getting the design fixed up though. Seeing the portfolio will give you an idea of their work, and what sort of art they favour and are generally best at. You should always choose your artist based on the environment he or she works in as well as if the portfolio fits your needs or not.
Add:
Put it where ever your comfortable putting it. Possibly consider your hip, upper lower or middle back, your shoulder blade, your arm… Just anywhere you feel it suits honestly.
I want a wizard of oz themed tattoo – can anyone help with some plain pictures?
I want the yellow brick road down my shoulder, with the words ‘there’s no place like home’ flowing down it and then a pair of ruby slippers at the bottom.
thank you
I have no pics for you, but that’s a really cool idea!
Guys and Gals: Should I get the face of the cowardly lion from Wizard of Oz tattooed on the top of my let arm?
To symbolize courage and overcoming your fears? Any thoughts? Guys would you find this unattractive or neat&creative?
Ideas for tattoos to get?
So I’m approaching that age, exactly in a year and a half where it will be legal for me to get a tat. I’m sort of an emo/sk8er/punk/prep. In a nutshell I have my own style, which is just wearing every style there is out there. I love screamo, metal, hard rock, streetpunk and some pop punk. Need ideas for tattoos though. This is what I want to get so far:
-the lion from the wizard of oz tattooed on the top of my left arm
-the lyrics “I wonder the spell we’re under will ever be broken”, on the inside of my right arm
+possibly two guns on the side of the top of my hips
Of course I might not get some of these but they are my ideas so far.
Any suggestions?
I think you make the decision by yourself, you might regret getting one if it really isn’t what you want
