More From Mark Rothko

I have been interested in the 12th century since my 20s when it was very fashionable to say of anybody with whom you disagreed, which was basically anybody over the age of 30, "one of the great minds of the 12th century", and one day i thought, "i don't know anything about the 12 century." so i started buying books, reading about it, and i discovered it was a period of great flowering, it was a renaissance before what we think is the renaissance, the italian renaissance of the 16th century.

Clothing sizes are weird, they go: small, medium, large and then extra large, extra extra large, extra extra extra large. something happened at large, they just gave up. they were like, 'i'm not doing any more adjectives; you just keep putting extras on there.' we could do better than that: small, medium, large, whoa, easy, slow down, stop it, interesting, american.
Interesting Adjectives Size
As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. and, as you read and re-read, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul.

The rise of the dramas in the thirteenth century, and the rise of the great novels in a later period, together with their frank glorification of love and the joys of life, may be called the third renaissance.

In pakistan, many of the young people read novels because in the novels, not just my novels but the novels of many other pakistani writers, they encounter ideas, notions, ways of thinking about the world, thinking about their society that are different. and fiction functions in a countercultural way as it does in america and certainly as it did in the, you know, '60s.

You're beautiful, but you're empty...one couldn't die for you. of course, an ordinary passerby would think my rose looked just like you. but my rose, all on her own, is more important than all of you together, since she's the one i've watered. since she's the one i put under glass, since she's the one i sheltered behind the screen. since she's the one for whom i killed the caterpillars (except the two or three butterflies). since she's the one i listened to when she complained, or when she boasted, or even sometimes when she said nothing at all. since she's my rose.
