A Quote by Maurice Sendak

Kids lead a very private life. — © Maurice Sendak
Kids lead a very private life.
Most children - I know I did when I was a kid - fantasize another set of parents. Or fantasize no parents. They don't tell their real parents about that - you don't want to tell Mom and Dad. Kids lead a very private life. And I was a typical child, I think. I was a liar.
I'm a very private person. Very private. You know, I've lived my entire life in a fishbowl, so it was important for me to keep my personal life private because people can't talk about what they don't know.
My life, I swear, is, like, 75% public. I have a very small percentage of my life that is private. But I do keep that private life private.
I lead a very conventional life. I don't lead a writer's life. And I think that can be a source of suspicion and irritation to some people. This was more true when I was living in California, when I didn't lead a writer's life at all.
It is very important and my success very much depends on the harmony that I feel in my private life. It is essential for me to be happy in my private life. And if it continues, I am able to continue playing tennis.
We have never invested as much in public education as we should have because we've always had a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children. So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.
For most of my life, I did deliberately lead a private life and inadvertently led a public life.
I'm irreverent, I'm not politically correct, and I feel that I'm protected in my private life because I live a very public private life.
My life and my work are very interlocked. That's partly why I like to keep my private life private.
Private life is private life. Off the pitch, there is private life, and the rest is social life, where of course you have to behave responsibly.
My father's a very private person. I mean a very private person. His life outside of basketball, he doesn't really share it with anybody.
My private life is very private, and I have chosen not to live in America or England, where you are so exposed and can't fight against it.
My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy.
I've always wanted to lead an ordered, relatively conventional and private life.
Well that's a bit of a question like saying, what have you learned in life that would help you lead? My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state. Those experiences in totality have given me an understanding of how America works and how the economy works.
My private life was not very private in England.
