More quotes by Maurice Sendak
As an aspiring artist, you should strive for originality of vision. Have something to say and a fresh way of saying it. No story is worth the writing, no picture worth the making, if it’s not the work of the imagination.
Maurice Sendak
We've educated children to think spontaneity is inappropriate.
Maurice Sendak
How do you write for children? I really have never figured that out. So I decided to just ignore it
Maurice Sendak
Children do live in fantasy and reality they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.
Maurice Sendak
I'm scared of watching a TV show about vampires. I can't fall asleep.
Maurice Sendak
A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful. Even as a kid, my sister, who was the eldest, brought books home for me, and I think I spent more time sniffing and touching them than reading. I just remember the joy of the book, the beauty of the binding. The smelling of the interior. Happy.
Maurice Sendak
When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.
Maurice Sendak
It was inconceivable to me as a child that I would be an adult. I mean, one assumed that it would happen, but obviously it didn't happen, or if it did, it happened when your back was turned, and then suddenly you were there. So I couldn't have thought about it much.
Maurice Sendak
There's a mystery there, a clue, a nut, a bolt, and if I put it together, I find me.
Maurice Sendak
I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents!
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
I wanted my wild things to be frightening.
Maurice Sendak
I never set out to write books for children. I don't have a feeling that I'm gonna save children or my life is devoted.
Maurice Sendak
And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.
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
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
From their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.
Maurice Sendak
As a kid, all I thought about was death. But you can't tell your parents that.
Maurice Sendak
I wish you all good things. Live your life, live your life, live your life.
Maurice Sendak
I know there are supposedly happy people in this world. I never believed it, but I take it for granted. God knows, they're all on television.
Maurice Sendak
