Top Powerful Wicked Quotes
Munchkinland Kid: Why does Wickedness happen?
Glinda: That’s a good question. One many people find confusifying. Are people born Wicked? Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?
Glinda: But from the moment the Witch was born, she was, well, different.
Glinda: [referring to Elphaba] Friend? Yes. I mean, I did know her. That is, our paths did cross. At school. But you must understand, it was a long time ago.
Glinda: Strangers are just people I’ve never met.
Elphaba: What are you staring at? Do I have something in my teeth?
Glinda: No, it’s just… You’re green. You’re green.
Elphaba: I am.
Elphaba: No, I am not seasick. No, I did not eat grass as a child. And, yes, I’ve always been green.
Elphaba: Offering to help someone that you don’t know with skills that you don’t have. I’m sure everyone is duly impressed.

Glinda: What?
Elphaba: You “couldn’t” care less what other people think. Though I doubt that.
Madame Morrible: [to Nessarose] How tragically beautiful you are.
Madame Morrible: Magic is merely the mind’s attempt to wrap itself around the impossible.
Madame Morrible: You. Come with me.
Glinda: Of course.
Madame Morrible: [referring to Elphaba] Not you. You.
Glinda: Something is very wrong. I didn’t get my way. I need to lie down.
Elphaba: [referring to her powers] Something just takes over me. Something I can’t control. And when it does, bad things happen.
Elphaba: My future is unlimited. And I’ve just had a vision, almost like a prophecy. I know it sounds truly crazy. And true, the vision’s hazy. But I swear, someday there’ll be a celebration throughout Oz that’s all to do with me.
Elphaba, Glinda: There’s been some confusion, for, you see, my roommate is…
Glinda: Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe .
Elphaba: Blonde.
Elphaba: [to Glinda] Maybe the pronuncification of your precious name is not the sole focus of Dr. Dillamond’s life. Maybe Dr. Dillamond is not like every other professor. Maybe some of us are just different.
Dr. Dillamond: And when people are hungry and angry, well, then they begin to look for…
Elphaba: Someone to blame.
Glinda: And I don’t see why you can’t just teach us history instead of always harping on the past.
Dr. Dillamond: We cannot escape the past, and we ignore it at our own peril. The past helps explain our present circumstances.
Elphaba: No one should be scorned or laughed at. Or looked down upon, or told to stop jabbering, and keep quiet!
Madame Morrible: [to Elphaba] Once you learn to harness your emotions, the sky is the limit.It could lead you to the Wizard himself.
Dr. Dillamond: You’ll find if you make it discouraging enough, you can keep anyone silent.
Elphaba: Is this how you go through life, just running amok and trampling anyone in your path?
Fiyero: No. No. Sometimes I’m asleep.
Elphaba: No, I’m not seasick.
Fiyero: Neither am I.
Elphaba: No, I did not eat grass as a child.
Fiyero: Oh, you didn’t? I did.
Elphaba: And, yes, I have always been green.
Fiyero: And the defensiveness, is that a recent development?
Fiyero: I see that, once again, the responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me.
Fiyero: Life’s more painless for the brainless.
Pfannee: Fiyero’s going to lose what’s left of his mind.
Glinda: [after Morrible gives her a wand] Madame Morrible, how can I express my gratitution? It is my heart’s desire to become a sorceress. Thank you for having faith in me.
Madame Morrible: Actually, I have no faith in you.
Fiyero: [referring to Elphaba] I’ll say this much, she doesn’t give a twig what anyone thinks.
Glinda: Of course she does. She just pretends not to.
Glinda: Wait a second. You’re telling me that was your first party ever?
Elphaba: Well, do funerals count?
Glinda: Fiyero and I are getting married.
Elphaba: He asked you already?
Glinda: Oh, he doesn’t know yet.
Glinda: Now that we’re friends, I’ve decided to make you my new project.
Elphaba: Oh, you really don’t have to do that.
Glinda: I know. That’s what makes me so nice.
Glinda: [to Elphaba] Your whole life is going to change, and it’s all because of me.
Fiyero: [to Elphaba] You’ve been Galindafied.
Fiyero: Why is it you’re always causing some sort of commotion?
Elphaba: I don’t cause commotions. I am one.
Fiyero: Yeah. Well, that’s for sure.
Elphaba: No matter how shallow and self-absorbed you pretend to be…
Fiyero: Excuse me. There is no pretense here. I happen to be genuinely self-absorbed, and deeply shallow.
Elphaba: Oh, please. No, you’re not. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be so unhappy.
Glinda: [referring to Fiyero] He’s been different. He’s distant and moodified. And he’s been thinking, which really worries me.
Glinda: [referring to Fiyero] I don’t even think he’s perfect anymore, and I still want him.
Glinda: [to Elphaba] Listen to me. You can do this. You can do anything.
Wizard of Oz: I am Oz, the Great and Terrible.
Wizard of Oz: I think people need direction. When this thing gets built, everybody, always, is going to remember that if you just follow the road, it’s going to lead you right to me.
Wizard of Oz: [to Elphaba] Wow, that’s the darndest thing. It’s almost like I already know you.
Wizard of Oz: The best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy.
Elphaba: You have no real power.
Wizard of Oz: Exactly. That’s why I need you.
Glinda: This is everything you’ve dreamed of. Elphaba, this is so much bigger than us. Why couldn’t you have stayed calm, for once, instead of flying off the handle?
Madame Morrible: Citizens of Oz, there is an enemy who must be found and captured. Believe nothing she says. She has stolen our Grimmerie. She is evil, responsible for the mutilation of these poor, innocent monkeys. Her green skin is but an outward manifestorium of her twisted nature. This distortion. This repulsion. This Wicked Witch.
Glinda: Don’t be afraid.
Elphaba: I’m not afraid. It’s the Wizard who should be afraid of me.
Glinda: You can still be with the Wizard. What you’ve worked and waited for, you can have all you ever wanted
Elphaba: I know. But I don’t want it. No. I can’t want it anymore. Something has changed within me. Something is not the same. I’m through with playing by the rules of someone else’s game. Too late for second-guessing. Too late to go back to sleep. It’s time to trust my instincts, close my eyes and leap. It’s time to try defying gravity. I think I’ll try defying gravity, and you can’t pull me down.
Glinda: You’re having delusions of grandeur?
Elphaba: I’m through accepting limits because someone says they’re so.
Elphaba: Some things I cannot change. But till I try, I’ll never know.
Glinda: [to Elphaba] Maybe you’re not as powerful as you think you are.
Elphaba: [to Glinda] Come with me. Think of what we could do together. Unlimited. Together we’re unlimited. Together we’ll be the greatest team. There’s ever been, Glinda.
Elphaba: If you care to find me, look to the western sky. As someone told me lately, “Everyone deserves the chance to fly.” And if I’m flying solo, at least I’m flying free.
Elphaba: Nobody in all of Oz, no Wizard that there is, or was, is ever going to bring me down.
