More quotes by Ai Weiwei
If people are being abused or even killed during an arrest, this is highly disturbing.
Ai Weiwei
Everything is selected by the central government without good judgment or an understanding of culture to make it really safe. They will become nobody to maintain their power and be raised to the next higher level.
Ai Weiwei
I often feel more disgust than pride about this kind of success. So there's no regret whatsoever.

Ai Weiwei
My understanding of Chinese history is limited. So far, I have only scratched its surface I wish I could find out more.

Ai Weiwei
I think Allen [Ginsberg] was a person who's like a child.
Ai Weiwei
Everyone wants an iPhone, but it would be impossible to design an iPhone in China because it's not a product it's an understanding of human nature.
Ai Weiwei
New York was not a romantic city at [80th]. Nobody knows who you are and you don't have to care about anybody else. It's a very cold city, I should say.
Ai Weiwei
The tragic reality of today is reflected in the true plight of our spiritual existence. We are spineless and cannot stand straight.
