What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is. – Maurice Sendak
Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I dont know. I dont know. Ive convinced myself – I hope Im right – that children despair of you if you dont tell them the truth. – 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
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
