Ive convinced myself – I hope Im right – that children despair of you if you dont tell them the truth. – Maurice Sendak
I mean, being a child was being a child, was being a creature without power, without pocket money, without escape routes of any kind. So I didnt want to be a child. – Maurice Sendak
I think people should be given a test much like drivers tests as to whether theyre capable of being parents! Its an art form. I talk a lot. And I think a lot. And I draw a lot. But never in a million years would I have been a parent. Thats just work thats too hard. – Maurice Sendak
To get a childs trust – you may know or not – is a very hard thing to do. Theyre so used to not believing adults – because adults tell tales and lies all the time. – Maurice Sendak
