Passages to discuss:
The dwarf gave a poetic welcome. "All our lives are activity without meaning; we burrow ratlike into life and we squirm ratlike through it and ratlike we are flung into our graves at the end. Now and then, why shouldn't we hear a voice of prophecy, or see a miracle play? Beneath the apparent sham and indignity of our ratlike lives, a humble pattern and meaning still applies!", p.16-17

"I never use the words humanist or humanitarian, as it seems to me that to be human is to be capable of the most heinous crimes in nature." p. 187

"I know this: The wickedness of men is that their power breeds stupidity and blindness," [Elphaba] said., p. 197

There was much to hate in this world, and too much to love. p.228
