"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."
"I'm a happy old man, but I will cry all my way to the grave."
-- Maurice Sendak
Listen to the fascinating, heartbreaking interview on NPR.
Oh my lands. "Where the Wild Things Are" is so lovely. Maurice Sendak is lovely. That is all.
