"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time. "
--T.S Eliot
But, in the case of The Wizard of Oz, it's ironic that the only way Dorothy appreciates her own home is to leave it. She must learn about her own home was by going "over the rainbow", and then she learns that she never wanted to leave...but she had to leave in order to realize this. Ergo leaving home is necessary, even if it's not desirable.
