I cry a lot because I miss people. They die and I can't stop them. They leave me and I love them more.
Maurice SendakGrown-ups desperately need to feel safe, and then they project onto the kids. But what none of us seem to realize is how smart kids are. They donโt like what we write for them, what we dish up for them, because itโs vapid, so theyโll go for the hard words, theyโll go for the hard concepts, theyโll go for the stuff where they can learn something. Not didactic things, but passionate things.
Maurice SendakNewt Gingrich is an idiot of great renown... There's something so hopelessly gross and vile about him it's hard to take him seriously.
Maurice SendakThank God that Bumble-Ardy's parents are dead so we don't have to wonder what they did to him. We only know that they were famous, and famous people have unhappy children for the most part. They don't have the time to take care of them. So he's a troubled pig-boy, a kid you've got to watch.
