More quotes by Maurice Sendak
A whole new world of Italian music was springing up, and [Giuseppe] Verdi was seen as old. Boito got Verdi all excited about the possibility of doing another opera, another kind of opera. In fact, Verdi composed his two best operas, Otello and Falstaff, in his eighties.
Maurice Sendak
Bumble-Ardy is a very wicked little child as far as I'm concerned. He's not to be trusted.
Maurice Sendak
My father belonged to a Jewish social club.
Maurice Sendak
I had a brother who was my savior, made my childhood bearable.
Maurice Sendak
We're animals. We're violent. We're criminal. We're not so far away from the gorillas and the apes, those beautiful creatures.
Maurice Sendak
Thank God that Bumble-Ardy's parents are dead so we don't have to wonder what they did to him. We only know that they were famous, and famous people have unhappy children for the most part. They don't have the time to take care of them. So he's a troubled pig-boy, a kid you've got to watch.
Maurice Sendak
There's so much more to a book than just the reading.
Maurice Sendak
Dreams raise the emotional level of what I'm doing at the moment.
Maurice Sendak
And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.
Maurice Sendak
God, I had great people in my life.
Maurice Sendak
Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.
Maurice Sendak
I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more.
Maurice Sendak
Why is my needle stuck in childhood? I don't know why. I guess it's because that's where my heart is.
Maurice Sendak
I don't believe in an afterlife but I still fully expect to see my brother again.
Maurice Sendak
Certainly we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences.
Maurice Sendak
I'd 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
Kids never get pissed at their parents. Unheard of.
Maurice Sendak
Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do.
Maurice Sendak
If children are different from us, they are more spontaneous. Grown-up lives have become overlaid with dross.
Maurice Sendak
How do you write for children? I really have never figured that out. So I decided to just ignore it
