Maurice Sendak quotes

08 May

The usual Tuesday/Wednesday quotes are going to be different today.  I’ll have some of the more usual quotes tomorrow, but today, I felt it appropriate to divulge some things said by author and illustrator Maurice Sendak, who passed away yesterday at the age of 83.

Live your Life. Live your Life. Live your Life.  ~his most recent NPR Fresh Air appearance last year
