Maurice Sendak Quotes

We Are Flooded With Books; Books Come Pouring Out Of The Publishing Meat Grinder. And, The Quality Has Dropped Severely. We May Be Able To Print A Book Better, But Intrinsically The Book, Perhaps, Is Not Better Than It Was. We Have A Backlist Of Books, Superb Books, By Margaret Wise Brown, By Ruth Krauss, By Lots Of People. I'd Much Rather We Just Took A Year Off, A Moratorium: No More Books. For A Year, Maybe Two - Just Stop Publishing. And Get Those Old Books Back, Let The Children See Them! Books Don't Go Out Of Fashion With Children; They Only Go Out Of Fashion With Adults. So That Kids Are Deprived Of The Works Of Art Which Are No Longer Around Simply Because New Ones Keep Coming Out.

from The Openhearted Audience (1980)
