I dont need faith. – 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
Most children – I know I did when I was a kid – fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They dont tell their real parents about that – you dont want to tell Mom and Dad. – Maurice Sendak
Giving birth was the most amazing thing Ive ever done. Id been living in a Third World country, and I said, Im going to just squat behind a tree. I basically did that but in a chair in my living room. I didnt want a sterile hospital room. I didnt want doctors. I had a midwife. – Carolyn Murphy
