What I do as best I can is out of a deep respect for children, for how difficult their world is.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
There are certain pieces of music that are always attached to certain books.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I wanted to be acknowledged as an artist, not just some kiddie-book artist.
Quote by -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.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
We're supposed to do all these things which trouble us deeply because it's so against what we naturally would want to do.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I want to write something so simple, so short and so silly... and I want it to be for my brother.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Mothers and children are human beings, and they will sometimes do the wrong thing.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I think people should be given a test much like driver's tests as to whether they're capable of being parents!
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Parents shouldn't assume children are made out of sugar candy and will break and collapse instantly. Kids don't. We do.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I hate those e-books. They can not be the future... they may well be... I will be dead.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
When Mozart is playing in my room, I am in conjunction with something I can't explain... I don't need to. I know that if there's a purpose for life, it was for me to hear Mozart.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I have a little tiny Emily Dickinson so big that I carry in my pocket everywhere. And you just read three poems of Emily. She is so brave. She is so strong. She is such a sexy, passionate, little woman. I feel better.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I became a set designer for opera. I'm a great opera buff, I love classical music, and I needed a time-out.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
People from New York have been calling, to see if I'm still alive. When I answer the phone, you can hear the disappointment in their voice.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I'm writing a poem right now about a nose. I've always wanted to write a poem about a nose. But it's a ludicrous subject. That's why, when I was younger, I was afraid of something that didn't make a lot of sense. But now I'm not. I have nothing to worry about. It doesn't matter.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Do parents sit down and tell their kids everything? I don't know. I don't know. I've convinced myself - I hope I'm right - that children despair of you if you don't tell them the truth.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
Kids don't know about best sellers. They go for what they enjoy. They aren't star chasers and they don't suck up. It's why I like them.
Quote by -Maurice Sendak
I write books that seem more suitable for children, and that's OK with me. They are a better audience and tougher critics. Kids tell you what they think, not what they think they should think.
