R.I.P. Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of Where the Wild Things Are, who died today at age 83.

Sendak on death: “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.”

“The whole promise is to do the work.”

A late homage to the great man, but I just found this one, which I deem worthy. RIP Mr Sendak.
