"There's more of the world than Oz," declared the crab, in a stubborn voice.
"That is true," said Dorothy; "but I used to live in Kansas, in the United States, and I've been to California and to Australia--and so has Uncle Henry."
"For my part," added the Shaggy Man, "I've been to Mexico and Boston and many other foreign countries."
"And I," said the Wizard, "have been to Europe and Ireland."

There are people who are generic. They make generic responses and they expect generic answers. They live inside a box and they think people who don't fit into their box are weird.

الناس لا يكلفون انفسهم عناءاً كبيراً في تصوير الحياة وتخيلها، وهم يبدون استعداداً مدهشاً لتصديق ما لا يجوز تصديقه، وتصور مالا ينبغي تصوره، وكأنما آلو على أنفسهم ألا يبذلوا جهداً، وألا يحملوا أنفسهم مشقة أو عناء، والكثرة العظمى من الناس في جهل مطبق بحقائق الحياة، ومع ذلك فهم راضون عن أنفسهم مدافعون عن جهالاتهم وأوهامهم، وإن بعضهم ليتحمس للحياة ويضحي بنفسه في سبيلها، وآية ذلك إن جهالة الجاهل جزء من شخصيته، فهو يجد في الدفاع عنها دفاعاً عن نفسه وعن حياته.
