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.
