2 notes "Once a little boy sent me a charming card with a little drawing on it. I loved it. I answer all my children’s letters — sometimes very hastily — but this one I lingered over. I sent him a card and I drew a picture of a Wild Thing on it. I wrote, “Dear Jim: I loved your card.” Then I got a letter back from his mother and she said, “Jim loved your card so much he ate it.” That to me was one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original Maurice Sendak drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it." — Maurice Sendak

88 notes "

I have some tea after I’m finished eating and watch the people hustling back and forth in front of the station. They’re all headed somewhere. If I wanted to, I could join them. Take a train to some other place. Throw away everything here, go to somewhere I’ve never been, start from scratch. Like turning a page in a new notebook. I could go to Hiroshima, Fukuoka, wherever. Nothing’s keeping me here. I’m one hundred percent free.

But I know I can’t go anywhere.
