More From Maurice Sendak

I think life is cotton candy on a rainy day. for those who grew up with cotton candy the old-fashioned way, it is very delicate. pre-made cotton candy that has preservatives is not nearly as good or true. true cotton candy is sugar, color, and air and it melts very quickly. that was the metaphor - it can't be preserved, it can't be put aside, it can't be banked. it has to be experienced, like life.
Rainy Day Thinking Air
Wisdom is like the rain. its source is unlimited, but it comes down according to the season. grocers put sugar in a bag, but their supply of sugar is not the amount in the bag. when you come to a grocer, he has sugar in abundance. but he sees how much money you have brought and gives accordingly. your currency on this path is resolution and faith, and you are taught according to your resolution and faith. when you come seeking sugar, they examine your bag to see what its capacity is; then they measure out accordingly.

Lastly, tea--unless one is drinking it in the russian style--should be drunk without sugar. i know very well that i am in a minority here. but still, how can you call yourself a true tea-lover if you destroy the flavour of your tea by putting sugar in it? it would be equally reasonable to put in pepper or salt. tea is meant to be bitter, just as beer is meant to be bitter. if you sweeten it, you are no longer tasting the tea, you are merely tasting the sugar; you could make a very similar drink by dissolving sugar in plain hot water.
Drinking Beer Drunk
Things break all the time. glass and dishes and fingernails. cars and contracts and potato chips. you can break a record, a horse, a dollar. you can break the ice. there are coffee breaks and lunch breaks and prison breaks. day breaks, waves break, voices break. chains can be broken. so can silence, and fever... promises break. hearts break.

Alas!... what is it, valiant knight, save an offering of sacrifice to a demon of vain glory, and a passing through the fire of moloch? what remains to you as a prize of all the blood you have spilled, of all the travail and pain you have endured, of all the tears which your deeds have caused, when death hath broken the strong man's spear, and overtaken the speed of his war-horse?

In this post-modern culture in which we live - where people question absolute truth - stories are resistant to platitudes; they're resistant to me making declarations of truth to them. a story can do that in kind of a trojan-horse fashion.
