Maurice Sendak (June 10, 1928 – May 8, 2012)

Sendak would "not tolerate" parental concerns about his book "Where the Wild Thing Are" being too scary.

"I would tell them to go to hell," Sendak said. And if children can't handle the story, they should "go home," he added. "Or wet your pants. Do whatever you like. But it's not a question that can be answered."
