"I said anything I wanted because I don't believe in children I don't believe in childhood. I don't believe that there's a demarcation. 'Oh you mustn't tell them that. You mustn't tell them that.' You tell them anything you want. Just tell them if it's true. If it's true you tell them." —
Maurice Sendak, the author of
Where the Wild Things Are, who died today. NYT obituary
here. His work, still relevant, remains a staple of childhood reading. He was 83.
