That's why I always question this sense. The feeling of home really requires a lot of trust. It requires you to identify with it, which I always find myself very contradictory to.

More quotes by Ai Weiwei
Modern Chinese culture is weak and lackluster.
Ai Weiwei
I'm always interested in people who are not orientated in art circles to become part of it.
Ai Weiwei
Even if I have hundreds of things to do, the disconnected feeling is still there because it is very hard to find a real purpose of life.
Ai Weiwei
You need a purpose to express yourself, but that expression is its own purpose.
Ai Weiwei
If there is no freedom of expression, then the beauty of life is lost. Participation in a society is not an artistic choice, it’s a human need.
Ai Weiwei
Any design, any city, any kind of craziness or tragedy, it all comes from a long time of preparation.
Ai Weiwei
Censorship is saying: I'm the one who says the last sentence. Whatever you say, the conclusion is mine. But the internet is like a tree that is growing. The people will always have the last word – even if someone has a very weak, quiet voice. Such power will collapse because of a whisper.
Ai Weiwei
Even if there have been setbacks during these past years, China is changing. China's society is opening.

No state or society can claim to have established human rights once and for all.
Ai Weiwei
If a society cannot even support somebody like me, then people ask: Who is under protection then? That's why there is such support for me. It is not because I am so beautiful or I am so charming. People feel: This guy is fighting for us.
Ai Weiwei
I think U.S. and China is a big opportunity, to be seen as partner or some kind of strategic partner maybe. But those kind of powers have a way of getting too big, then we'll have competition. And who is going to win the competition if U.S. cannot hold a strong ideology? And even the U.S. would've lost the ground to win.
Ai Weiwei
Today, we jump into this globalization of the economy and the internet age.
Ai Weiwei
The tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.
Ai Weiwei
What counts in the end is what the government does.
Ai Weiwei
Everything is art. Everything is politics.
Ai Weiwei
The Internet changes the structure of society all the time — this massiveness made of individuals.
Ai Weiwei
All the rich people collect traditional Chinese art. So it's very natural for Chinese families to still see art as the highest human performance and send their children to this field.
