Girls are infinitely more complicated than boys and women more than men. And theres no doubt about that. We just dont like to think about it. Certainly the men dont like to think about it. – Maurice Sendak
I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. – Maurice Sendak
Id like to believe an accumulation of experience has made me a sort of a grown-up person, so I can have judgment and taste and whatever. – 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. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar. – Maurice Sendak
