Quote by Maurice Sendak
I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawin

I want to be alone and work until the day my heads hits the drawing table and Im dead. Kaput. I feel very much like I want to be with my brother and sister again. Theyre nowhere. I know theyre nowhere and they dont exist, but if nowhere means thats where they are, thats where I want to be. – Maurice Sendak

Oh, I adored Mickey Mouse when I was a child. He was the emblem of happiness and funniness. You went to the movies then, you saw two movies and a short. When Mickey Mouse came on the screen and there was his big head, my sister said she had to hold onto me. I went berserk. – 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
