Мо́рис Се́ндак — американский детский писатель и художник-иллюстратор, мировую известность которому принесла книжка с картинками «Там, где живут чудовища» .

При том, что книги Сендака переводились на многие языки, русскому читателю он оставался практически неизвестным: за исключением нескольких журнальных публикаций, в русском переводе его произведения не выходили вплоть до конца 2014 года. В СССР был издан лишь перевод одной книги на эстонский язык. Wikipedia

Сендак, Морис: Цитаты на английском языке

“And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming wild things.”

Acceptance speech upon being awarded the Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are (1964), published in Newbery and Caldecott Medal Books, 1956-65, edited by Lee Kingman (1965)
Контексте: Certainly we want to protect our children from new and painful experiences that are beyond their emotional comprehension and that intensify anxiety; and to a point we can prevent premature exposure to such experiences. That is obvious. But what is just as obvious — and what is too often overlooked — is the fact that from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.

“Then from far away across the world he smelled good things to eat, so he gave up being king of the wild things.”

“Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.”

As quoted in Questions to an Artist Who Is Also an Author : A Conversation between Maurice Sendak and Virginia Haviland (1972) by Virginia Haviland
Контексте: I believe there is no part of our lives, our adult as well as child life, when we're not fantasizing, but we prefer to relegate fantasy to children, as though it were some tomfoolery only fit for the immature minds of the young. Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.
