The Ocean at the End of the Lane, Neverwhere

I remember my own childhood vividly… I knew terrible things. But I knew I mustn’t let adults know I knew. It would scare them.

Wow. Now there’s a quote to preface a book with.

The book is Neil Gaiman‘s The Ocean at the End of the Lane… Interesting title.

The quote… Maurice Sendak, in Conversation with Art Spiegelman, The New Yorker, September 27, 1993…

Maurice Sendak. You know, Where the Wild Things Are.

Gotta say… That quote got me.
