"I was sickly as a child and gravitated to books and drawing. During my early teen years, I spent hundreds of hours at my window, sketching neighborhood children at play.

There is not a book I have written or a picture I have drawn that does not, in some way, owe them its existence."

-- Maurice Sendak

If only I could find a lover as faithful as guilt.”
