Maurice Sendak Quotes
One of the few graces of getting old - and God knows there are few graces - is that if you’ve worked hard and kept your nose to the grindstone, something happens: The body gets old but the creative mechanism is refreshed, smoothed and oiled and honed. That is the grace. That is the splendid grace. And I think that is what’s happening to me.Maurice Sendak
