Where The Wild Things Went


[source]

Today we lost a truly incredible man. Maurice Sendak - the Brooklyn-born, proud curmudgeon will be missed for not only his revolutionary contributions to literature and art, but for his surprisingly sharp wit and intelligence.

As always, he said it best:



"I have nothing now but praise for my life. I'm not unhappy. I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more. ...What I dread is the isolation. ... There are so many beautiful things in the world which I will have to leave when I die, but I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready."
