More quotes by Ai Weiwei
Liberty is about the right to question everything.
Ai Weiwei
Chinese citizens have never had the right to really express their opinions in the constitution it says you can, but in the real world it is more dangerous. In the west people think it's a right they're born with. Here it's a right given by the government, and one that's not really practised.
Ai Weiwei
I also doubt a man can give really clear reasons for anything.
Ai Weiwei
China's culture and history are closely related to my living environment. This country is my birthplace. It is also where I grew up. Its culture and history shape my relations with family, friends, society, and daily life.
Ai Weiwei
In my life, I often make so-called major decisions by very quick, immediate responses.
Ai Weiwei
I always admire writers. My father was a writer, a poet. I always admire people who can clearly state their mind.
Ai Weiwei
Each year, more people want to become artists.
Ai Weiwei
A historical property has morals and ethics of the society that created it and it can be revived. What I mean is that we can discover new possibilities from the process of dismantling, transforming, and recreating.
Ai Weiwei
Now many enterprises are made by individuals, so the attitude has started to change.
Ai Weiwei
Behind every political deal in this country, the first casualties are always the ordinary people, who are barely treated as human.
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
Life is much more interesting when you make a little bit of effort.
Ai Weiwei
I think of art as coming from daily life, daily experience. I think it's very important not to have it become work for some kind of elite circle.
Ai Weiwei
If I look at it, I would laugh. I don't know how I became successful.
Ai Weiwei
A small act is worth a million thoughts.
Ai Weiwei
China is an old nation with a colourful history. Its booming economy has triggered an appetite and a curiosity around the world for its art and culture, one that continues to grow. I can, however, tell people that it is a show with no actor.
Ai Weiwei
It [success] is really by mistake.
Ai Weiwei
Had I to create a name for these times, I’d say it is the age of craziness
Ai Weiwei
I have to respect my life, and free expression is part of my life. I can never really silence myself.
Ai Weiwei
I'm a free man now, except I cannot leave China. You know, I have no desire to travel. I have so many things to do I cannot finish them now.
