Quotes by Maurice Sendak

“And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all.”

“Sendak is in search of what he calls a yummy death. William Blake set the standard, jumping up from his death bed at the last minute to start singing. A happy death, says Sendak. It can be done. He lifts his eyebrows to two peaks. If youre William Blake and totally crazy.”
