Ai Weiwei Fighting Quotations

I don’t want the next generation to fight the same fight as I did.

The purpose of art is the fight for freedom,

Anyone fighting for freedom does not want to totally lose their freedom.

Freedom of expression is a very essential condition for me to make any art. Also, it is an essential value for my life. I have to protect this right and also to fight for the possibility.

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.
