Happy birthday to Maurice Sendak (1928-2012), American author best known for his illustrated children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are. Sendak also wrote works such as In the Night Kitchen, Outside Over There, and illustrated many works by other authors. 
"You cannot write for children. They're much too complicated. You can only write books that are of interest to them."
"Let the wild rumpus start!"
"Oh, please don't go — we'll eat you up — we love you so!"
"And Max, the king of all wild things, was lonely and wanted to be where someone loved him best of all."
"There must be more to life than having everything!"
