Quote by Maurice Sendak
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another

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

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
